Women talked about feminism and how threatening it can be to work from that position. They also talked about how powerful it can be.

The whole word "feminism" scared the hell out of me! Now I see it was a seed that started to grow, Now I will say, "Because I'm a woman," That is very strong, I like that!

They also tried to sort out what it meant to be "political." Does political action only mean action protesting against governments or can it mean action for something?

Once you start pushing the boundaries, that is political action. It's when you realize that it's not just about you, your life, It's moving from the individual to the collective, You take your personal analysis and apply it to the collective.

Women did not want to accept that being political was being reactive, They wanted to recognize the pro-active possibilities.

Why is hard to move between personal growth and political or collective action? Do we have to do something special or can living our lives be a political action? We can change others through our own behaviour - do we have to act in a group for our work to become political? For many of us, how we raise our children is a political action, Our actions or our resistances make ripples and ripples become waves.

LaVera Schiele made her label- family responsibilities.

Women began to talk about how their discussion could become theatre.

You reach out your hand and others mayor may not take it. We can label ourselves in ways that make statements, We can make our isolation and our attempts at building community visible, What are the forces against us? Isolation, self-doubt fear of failure, fear of change, fear of violence, fear of community backlash, and of homophobia.

One woman talked about how some of us are comfortable and don't want to move. Another added that women cannot grow in different directions if they are never given the chance to experience choices, Another suggested that one of the choices is to notice that some women are hungry, Then we have options. We can give them something to eat, We can say "I'm sorry you're hungry."

The people around you can hold you back, one woman said, You take on your friends' opinions, "Well, you can't change things anyway so why bother. And they are right. There may always be things that are not going to change. So much of the status quo won't change without revolution.
