Better late than never, they say. And it’s never too late. We, women, seem to have finally woken up from a long slumber. And this time there is no Prince softly kissing Sleeping Beauties awake. Instead, we have woken up on our own, and have helped one another too. We have Seguir leyendo
In Argentina, we seem to live in a never ending “deja vu”. Crucial problems are never solved. On the contrary, they get worse and worse as time goes by. Every February we are told that the beginning of the academic state school year is at stake. Every single year, the Seguir leyendo
