Powerful women summit

I read that there is a powerful womens summit today with prominent leaders in arts, philanthropy, business, government and education gathering together. Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Indra Nooyi are some of the speakers, and my first thought was that isn't it amazing how so many women today have finally managed to reach their potential? My second thought yipping at the heels of the first was: But these are so so few. We can have a summit with them. Contain them all in one space! When in reality we are so many- struggling, striving, sometimes literally hanging by the thin strength of our nails on the small crevices we find on the smooth unyielding rocks erecred around us. Fighting even to be born. Fighting to survive. Gang raped on our backs at the age of 80 as a pawn in battles of men as happened this week and happens every week in Congo and elsewhere- our sacred holes that give birth to men turned into weapons of destructions against us. But, there is hope. Even one powerful women can influence many many lives. Think about the potential of so many leaving a room and spreading out.
