What a great idea, Monica. The issues of women in general and those living in rural and remote areas in particular is a great subject and one not addressed nearly as frequently as it should be. Kudos to you!
Oh, yes..I took the quiz and embarrassed myself when I read the answers!!! shame on me!
It’s a tough quiz Pat, didn’t do great myself. However, I guess it achieved it’s purpose of opening our eyes to these issues.
I didn’t do so well on the quiz either. This is an issue, we as women, should know more about and support. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
