But the scales are already shifting, force is losing its weight, and mental alertness, intuition and the spiritual qualities of love and service, in which woman is strong, are gaining ascendancy. Hence the new age will be an age less masculine and more permeated with the feminine ideals, or, to speak more exactly, will be an age in which the masculine and feminine elements of civilization will be more properly balanced. ~Abdul'Baha 1844-1921 The world in the past has been ruled by force and man has dominated over woman by reason of his more forceful and aggressive qualities both of body and mind.

Hopefully the story will appear on utube and twitter and anywhere women can make this much of a difference. Hopefully this could work worldwide; Afganistan would be a greatly needed place to end the killing war. I also was impressed by this woman and all the women of Liberia; they are remarkibly brave.

The whole concept is as Disney stated in the interview, "classic Gandhi nonviolence," therefore if women rally utilizing nonviolence, with a King or Gandhi type plan, they could change the world. Please investigate a plan, or guideline, called a Global Strategy of Nonviolence, For the Children. (www.GSofNV.org). Thank you PBS. Thank you James. Thank you Leymah and Abilgail. Hello,

This is a remarkable story how the women in Liberia after suffering through years of war peacefully stopped the bloodshed and violence. Forced the dictator out of the country and now run the country. A woman president, majority in the cabinet and have taken positive actions by creating support mechanisms not only economically, but also socially by empowerment. I wish everyone could have seen the short presentation on pbs tonite. If you can find it on youtube or other means I'd highly recommend it if you can't wait until 2010! Why the national media has not broadcast this is unbelievable. Maybe Africa and the world can change peacefully after all! Hi!
