The Girl Revolution is inviting anyone and everyone to come to the bridge that crosses Lake Bob Sandlin in Pittsburg, Texas on FM 21 (off HWY 11) at 4:30 PM on Monday, March 8, International Women’s Day.

On Monday, March 8, 2010 Women for Women International is hosting a global campaign called Join me on the Bridge.Women from all over the world will be meeting on a bridge in solidarity for human rights of women and girls.

A new film, Half the Sky, a take-off of the exceptional book Half the Sky will be screened at select theaters, today, March 4 in honor of International Women’s Day (March 8). Find a theater near you by clicking this link and entering your zip code.

Half the Sky is inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Nicholas Kristof’s and Sheryl WuDunn’s New York Times bestseller, “Half The Sky,” which follows the stories of extraordinary women around the world as they struggle to overcome oppression. Kristof and WuDunn focus on three major problems facing women – sex trafficking, maternal mortality and violence against women. They argue that empowering women is the key to alleviating poverty and uplifting communities in developing countries.

“What further complicates this picture is the fluctuations in hormone levels we experience during our life. The surge of hormones during puberty is one major hormonal shift that we all recognize. However, there is a second major hormonal shift that takes place in midlife. For women this is called menopause, but men undergo a similar shift that has traditionally been called a midlife crisis but is increasingly being referred to as andropause.

During this secondary life-shift women’s estrogen-levels are programmed to drop and testosterone becomes more dominant. Men have a similar shift in which testosterone levels fall and estrogen becomes more dominant. This is why many women start a career and become more assertive at this stage of life, while many men want to stay at home more, gardening or tending grandchildren. In other words, we are programmed for a partial reversal of roles after the childbearing years are passed. Nature is obviously very fair, but because we do not understand this secondary life transition, we have both men and women panicking and resisting this important life transition,” from the article Blame It On Hormones: The Biological Differences Between Men and Women.

At 36 and post-childbirthing, I can feel the lessening of the very strong hormonal pull that tethered me to home for the last 8 years.
