This feeling I have isn't so different than 15 years ago. At the very least, I hope I have answers for women with cancer in terms of better treatment choicesnot the slash and burn option we have to put up with today. Also, if and when women get a cancer diagnosis I would hope that they're knowledgeable about what they can do for themselves and feel empowered, either by what we offer them or because of the fact that they're socialized that way. I especially hope that young women feel proud of their bodies and know that they can ask questions. We really need to be clear about where we are going and be willing to do the homework to get there.
Women can work as a transforming agent for an organization.
We have the opportunity to grow and stretch for the jobs we want, and I want to encourage women to go for those jobs or that work that they aspire to. Annie Young 1985 Had just finished organizing food co-ops across the Midwest and was beginning to organize neighborhoods in north Minneapolis. Today Currently serves on the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and is active in several neighborhood organizations, including the East Phillips Improvement Coalition and Lake Street Partners. Working in neighborhoods has been a thread throughout my entire life. Women are concerned about their children, families and health, and seem to get out there and fight for these grass roots issues.
