Why create a blog with the title Women's Issues Matter? I believe women's issues are relevant to everyone -- in one form or another. I also believe women adopt a global perspective -- not limited by the broader categories of gender or class. This space is an information clearinghouse; shares resources and/or discusses issues of concern to each of us.

From A Room of One's Own | Virginia Woolf
What were the conditions in which women lived [during the
Elizabethan era], I asked myself; for fiction [...] is like a spider's
web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all
four corners. (3.2)
A spider's web wouldn't work if it weren't attached to
anything. This is a nice metaphor helping us see that fiction may be
delicate and ethereal, but it's still connected to solid stuff.
