Women I Greatly Admire.

Once in awhile I may post about a variety of women that have influenced me in so many different ways. These women are not so much known for the their "sex appeal" though all women are appealing....so that's already a given right? :)

I'm talking more about journalists, authors, small business owners, social activists and others from various professions that, in some ways, broke ground into what were mostly male dominated fields, and are also sometimes very vocal on controversial topics and in their opinions. Which is a good thing. Controversy and voicing alternate ideas and opinions is what makes us (everyone) challenge ourselves to rethink and relook at what influence us to draw the conclusions we already have formed.

So, for todays post the "Woman I Admire" is: Francesca Stavrakopoulou. Who is "Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion at the University of Exeter and head of its Department of Theology and Religion". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesca_Stavrakopoulou

 
You can find many clips of her on YouTube engaging in some spirited debates with some cranky old guys that...based on their body language....dislike her degrees, her intelligence, and that she is so articulate in presenting her polemic where she usually....kicks their butts. :)
