"A Circle of Women is
an amazing movement, something to be proud of. There's nothing more
important and relevant than our feelings than our empowering our feelings
and ourselves."

Director,
Office of Women's Health, Indiana State Dept.
"Women's search for
identity is constantly evolving. From the women's movement begun by
Betty Freidan and Gloria Steinem in the 1970's, to what I consider a
regressive idolization of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in the 1990's,
women follow trends. Why not then, a talented organization called A Circle
of Women, which seeks to activate females as Peacemakers in the 21st
Century? Boom - the next respectable movement."

"Peace is a constant
action, requiring constant attention, fostering relationships, nurturing
growth and investing time. A Circle of Women provides a venue for women
to do such work around the world. It is our job as women to be sisters
in this noble endeavor."
Amy
Besaw, Director, Honoring Nations John F. Kennedy

"A Circle of Women
is important because it allows us the opportunity to be vulnerable with
each other in a safe and supportive environment and to hear our own
voice and to recognize it listening to other women.
