First Entry

I'd like to begin, I guess, with some ideas on how this project may be conducted. I suppose it's first interest is to bring females together. Though this may just be its broadest interest. Okay, perhaps it's first interest is to illicit interesting discussions about literature and film. This also may be its broadest interest. One more time. At its core, this blog's first interest is simply, interest. Interest in literature, interest in film, interest in being female, and interest in making connections (sometimes across oceans) with people of the same interests. Although I don't consider woman to be something of a definable status, race, or even gender, I do believe that there are important factors that place the 'Western world' female in a vast web of connections to other females of the same hemisphere. What I do know about women is that they are learners, seekers, reflective thinkers. Some say it was Eve, after all, who brought us into this beautiful mess with her silly antics. It is in this blog's interest then, to hone in on these ties--knot by knot--and to quietly (or loudly for that matter) bring to light those messages that seem to float from the page of a book, or the scene in a film, straight through our eyes and out through our mouths.

I don't believe the Blog is one based on a specific feminist ideology, but rather is founded on the simple idea that we are female--learners, seekers, reflective thinkers, and perhaps above all, phenomenal conversationalists.
