CELEBRATING BEING FEMALE

Being a woman in a world that is set up for men to feel powerful has its drawbacks. And by men, I should say, white males. But being a woman has been and continues to be a joy after all the short-changing done by the world's societal ill-conceived power plays. I've personally had moments of glorious bursts of being wholly female and thoroughly enjoyed being female. And I also share in other women's moments of shining through in all their glory.

PROUD MARY – Katherine Hepburn
“Tina gives a stunning performace of John Fogerty's Proud Mary in 1982. Tina doesn't just sing a song-she assaults it head-on with Tina Turner-energy. She is a force of nature like a tornado.”
