Women's Interest Topic of the Day

Today, we have the first black president, and that is a major statement about the United States, it shows that more and more glass ceilings and barriers are being broken. And it's very good to see that, but I ask you how much do you know regarding the history of how America came to this place in time? I ask because recently, I read and scanned through a very interesting book. In fact, I'd like to recommend it to you, as it is some interesting reading, the name of this book is;

"Book of Black Heroes - Great Women in the Struggle" Volumes One and Two, Edited by Toyomi Igus and written by Veronica Freeman Ellis, Diane Patrick, Valerie Wilson Wesley, published by Just Us Books, Inc, New York, NY, (1991), volume one = 110 pages and volume two = 107 pages, ISBN: 0-590-46629-1.

In these volumes are listed all the famous black women in history, those names we all know such as Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Winnie Mandela, Maya Angelou, Aretha Franklin, Florence Griffin Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, and Mae C. Jamison - and yet, this book allows us to see much more, names that made absolutely significant contributions to black American women, names that you may not have heard of but whose contributions should be known.

Every true American should read through these volumes and get to know the people who brought us so far, contributed so much, and made America so great. Whether one is a racist, or sees no color, this book reminds us of who we are and how we got here, and the importance that one single individual can make in the cause of freedom. All women should know this history, and all men should understand and get to know these historical figures.

This is a book about America, and how far we've come - it's wonderful to see. Indeed, I hope you will please consider this and email me if you too are making significant contributions to this great nation. Think on it, focus, and deliver on that promise.

Handbags is one of the most adored women accessories, even though it is expensive, women still opt to have it not as a sign of vanity but as a necessity.

Women Want Their Fair Share Too

Many believe that women do not get a fair shake when it comes to government contracts in business. Perhaps this is why many women have gotten together in entrepreneurial women's groups, to work together towards the common cause of profits and sustainable businesses. Not long ago, I was discussing this with a female entrepreneur over a cup of coffee at Starbucks. We both laughed when we read an article in the LA times while we were sitting and talking about how she might go about marketing or business locally.

In fact, a recent article in the Los Angeles Times titled; "Minorities, Women Urge LA to Share the Wealth - Black, Latino, and Asian Owned Business call on the City to Steer 35% of its $1.1 Billion in Annual Contracts to them, and Women Owned Firms," by Cyndia Zwahlen published in November of 2010.

If local governments, and state agencies will open their contracts and bidding up to women-owned businesses, and work to steer those contracts towards them, then perhaps they can do just as well as many of the male owned businesses which currently dominate many of the contracts in some of the regional markets. Luckily, I am proud to announce that the Small Business Administration has indeed made it easier for women to bid on and get federal contracts for services and products.

In fact, when you fill out the form at the GSA, there are several boxes to check if you are a woman owned business and can prove it. Some men think this is unfair, because they believe everyone should be treated equally, and the best person to get the contract, whether it is a woman or a man. Suffice it to say, after talking to my friend who's a woman entrepreneur, I also saw her point, and understand that she is doing what is in her own best self interests to try to put her business where it belongs and in her opinion we must; level playing field for women-owned businesses. Indeed, I hope you will please consider this woman's topic of the day, and think on it.
