"I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves."
— Mary Wollstonecraft

Hello ladies! We had such a great time in London. I visited the University I want to make my Phd at next semester and became really excited! Fingers crossed! :) And we went to the National Portrait Gallery, make sure to visit this gallery if you go to London, it's amazing, I had the chance to see the original portraits of some of the women I most admire. Strong women. A visit to remember. How about you? Did you spend a nice weekend?

Amber, February 22, 2011 at 9:47 PM: what amazing portraits. I wish it was still acceptable to hang portraits of yourself in your home :)
Nicola, February 22, 2011 at 11:47 PM: Funnily enough I heard that quote just yesterday. I went to my university's annual Mary Wollstonecraft lecture, it was given by Luce Irigaray, and they spoke a little about Wollstonecraft in the introduction.
