Peggy Orenstein On Women

Today’s quote, from Peggy Orenstein, will complete the first side of my lunch table:

Women are one-half of the world’s people; they do two-thirds of the world’s work; they earn one-tenth of the world’s income; they own one one-hundredth of the world’s property. – Peggy Orenstein

And check out her brand new TED Talk, which had just gone up as we were enjoying kale salad. – Meg
