Testimonials
We wanted to share some of the thoughtful response we’ve received from readers of our weekly newsletter:
“Altogether this is a great contribution to discourse and dialogue. It represents one of the few places where one can find not just a POV but information that makes you want to read, and know, more.”
– Axel Magnuson
“Hi Therese, you and the Leading Ladies are amazing! Tireless, dedicated, and so on point. You’re all doing so much to make a difference.”
– Eliška Meyers, San Francisco
“I have two comments about the facts you are sharing.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm assuming that 11 of the 16 states that teach that the civil war was fought over states’ rights’ were members of the Confederacy. From their perspective, and they started the war, it was about states’ rights and initially the Union was fighting against the right to secede from the union. Maintaining slavery was a major underlying factor for the South and became a rallying cry for the North, but abolition/slavery wasn’t the cause of the war, per se.
Re ‘defunding the police’. I think it is important to mention that it means ‘shifting funding to social services’ whose personnel are trained to deal with individuals and families suffering from issues such as mental health, addiction, and homelessness. They are far better trained to act as first responders in non-violent situations, but they are woefully underfunded and understaffed.
Thank you for keeping important issues in the forefront of our thoughts.”

“I am so impressed with the work that you are doing. As informed women we believe we are aware of what is going on around us. But after reading your posts I realize how misinformed I am on certain topics. Your emails open my mind to what is really going on about very important subjects. Thank you for all that you have taught me and for the important work that you are doing.”
