At my age, in this still hierarchical time, people often ask me if I'm "passing the torch." I explain that I'm keeping my torch, thank you very much-and I'm using it to light the torches of others.
Because only if each of us has a torch will there be enough light.

We are ever grateful to all the brave and courageous women, both known and unknown, who have advanced women's rights and equality and continue to do so around the globe.
With March being Women's History Month, TWM wants to encourage everyone out there to reflect on what YOUR history and legacy will be.
You don't have to be an Eleanor Roosevelt, Mother Teresa, or Rosa Parks to leave your mark on the world. By becoming the best you can be and expressing your true power and potential, others will automatically benefit. Use this day and month to think about how you can improve your life and take one small action in that direction!
The Women's Mosaic® (TWM) i s proud to be a part of the women's empowerment movement for over a decade. Since January 2001 we have offered more than 100 unique opportunities for women of every background to connect to themselves, each other and the world around them.

TWM BLAST FROM THE PAST
In March 2005, TWM's Founder Kristina Leonardi had a "My View" column printed in the Metro NY paper about the lack of International Women's Day celebrations in the US and the media's overall emphasis on women's appearances rather than their accomplishments.
The link to the article no longer exists but we've given you a snapshot and excerpt from it here:
This is a cirtical time for American women- fortunate to be born here at this particular point in history- to have an effect on the future of this planet, which, by no coincidence, is called "Mother" Earth.
"It's up to the women," as Eleanor Roosevelt said, because we are innate caretakers, peacepkeepers , and dialoguers. We are more naturally equipped to heal this broken world and the mess that too much testosterone has made of it. It is up to the women to ensure that our country and our world- both the environment and its inhabitants - exist in the wisest, most compassionate and just form today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
.
Our voices, talents and power have lied dormant far too long. Every woman must search within herself, discover her unique gift, and then share it. If we cannot do that in this country, how can we expect it of women in the rest of the world? ~ Kristina Leonardi, MetroUS NY Weekend Edition March 11-13, 2005
