Courage of Lady Godiva

The Courage of Lady Godiva

30 Mar 2014

The legend of Lady Godiva is not a sweet one, but one of great courage.  Lady G (God Diva) was an 11th Century English noblewoman, and although married to the Lord of the land, was very troubled by how much the peasants were taxed.  Just like today’s Wendy of Texas and Malala of Pakistan, she relentlessly spoke her truth to power and endured the resulting ride.

There is an American role-reversal going on.  “Women the new breadwinners” said a 2012 USA TODAY analysis of Census Bureau data, while a recent Nielsen study reported that women will control two-thirds of the consumer wealth in the U.S. over the next decade. There are even more women voters now! Wow. The Feminine is emerging as a power to be reckoned with.  But if you’re in doubt, you’re right!
