Biography

Women's Work. What on earth does that even mean?

In our worlds, for most of us, it means that we do a whole lot, every day.

But that's about the only answer in common you'll get from any group of women.

For some of us, it's having a career. For some of us, it's staying home and caring for our homes, our families, or both. For some of us, it's an all-consuming passion for a hobby or a craft. For most of us, it's a never-ending juggling act of all these and more, as we try to find a way to balance our lives so that we can get all our work done, and keep our sanity intact.

We are employed and not, mothers and not, single and not, religious and not, and we don't all know each other "in real life." We are all smart, opinionated, not afraid to show it, and fundamentally disinclined to keep quiet.

We've come together to write our stories, to celebrate our differences, and to know that underneath it all, we all want to find our place in the world in the way that makes us happy.
