Research
into a new writing project has kept me from regular updates of late but, in the meantime, here is a miscellany of links to sites that are worth browsing. Through them you will find famous and little-known women who have been, or still are, an inspiration in their own countries and around the world.

achievements but here are some for countries that hold special interest for me, and there are bound to be many more.
Australia
Canada
South Africa
International
Women's Day links
