TRUTHS ABOUT A WOMAN’S WORTH

“It is important for our daughters and sons to see women and men as different, but equally valued members of society. The measure of a person’s worth has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with character.” -Terry Rosenberg

I will be completely honest when I say I am not jealous of women who are living in today’s society.
