Empowering Quotes

I didn't quite understand the DVD thing and why my husband was mailing it back. I couldn't quite wrap my head around it.

Suffragettes and the women's rights movement in the 60s here, but when I think of the Islamic feminist movement, I think of a lot of men who are very much standing with the women.

Am I going to allow bitterness to poison and putrefy my soul, or am I going to invite God to empower me to let the anger go?"
