Inspiration

Today is International Women's Day. Many will publish or have published inspiring articles about women. I don't (at this point anyway) have a job writing inspiring articles, so I shall keep it brief and list some women who inspire me:

• My partner
• My mother
• My two sisters
• My sisters-in-law
• The women who put together Girls Rock Camp Vancouver
• The women who put together the original Rock & Roll Camp for Girls in Portland
• The female musicians I know
• The female writers I know
• All women who brave the world of electoral politics
• US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton
• Activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali
• Author Ursula K. LeGuin
• Aun Sang Suu Kyi
• Actor/director/writer Sarah Polley

I'm sure I'll think of more, but I have to get back to work now.
