Farewell MN Women Consortium
After having spent a part of my summer with the Minnesota Women's Consortium, not only am I sad to be leaving their company, but also feel as if my understanding of issues facing women in Minnesota and the ideas at the forefront of the women's movement has been greatly enhanced. Both Emilie and I have spent an interesting summer with the consortium. Working here has allowed a degree of freedom and trust in ones abilities. It has given us the chance to attend hearings at the Capital, get a feel for the diversity of women's groups in Minnesota as well as a depth of understanding of what they and the consortium have to offer. It was time well spent! Minnesota is an interesting place to learn about and do work regarding the future of the women's movement. The people I have met during my time here have enlightened my understanding of the practical routes one can take to achieve the goals of the movement. Aisling will stay in touch from Trinity College in Dublin, and Emilie from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. They have been a great help, lots of fun, and we will miss them a lot! - Bonnie
