1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:
I have a special guest with me
this morning, joining me on the
phone will be Sherry Glaser is
author and star of several epic
one-woman and is founder of the
peace activist group “Breasts
Not Bombs” and has been a
champion of wimin's rights for
decades. ---- 2. Our guest Sherry Glaser shares her early life in New York, exposed to comedy withing the family and the TV shows of Lucille Ball and other wimmin* comics. She learned acting in college plays. Her first comedy group was called "Hot Flashes." When asked where she got her confidence, she responded that she was not confident as before every show she was in panic before stepping out on the stage, and that took courage. Her play "Oh My Goddess!" came with the realization that the major religions have a God the Father, and she wanted to bring the feminist perspective. The new book Mamas' First Pocket Chictionary - Taking the Dick out of Dictionary started to take shape when she moved into Kym Trippsmith's home due to unforeseen circumstances, which turned into a blessing as their two creative minds sought for a solution to the patriarchy coming through in the English language. Words affirmed male dominance. Sherry and Kym wanted to break the spell through "casting new spells" of the words. Sherry noted that words denoting the feminine often included male syllables, and that the feminine was practically missing in the vocabulary. Even "Miss" as a courtesy title of a young or single wumun brings up "nothing there" or "failure to connect", which the Chicktionary changes to Myth. First the new spellings seem comical, but they are comic in way that enlightens one to the pervasiveness of Dick in the Dictionary. The is a show you must listen to, as Sherry is very entertaining, and you will probably note more words that could be changed with the wumun spell. Hur and Kym's new book can be purchased at Barnes and Noble or through their website pocketchicktionary.com . Sherry concludes the interview with a tarot card Queen of Rods picked at Elaine's call and read by Sherry. * Chicktionary spelling in italics
Tarot Reading by Sherry Glaser:
The Queen of Rods is the power
of fire, energy, movement, in
Leo. Today is Lughnasadh, the
Harvest Festival of Summer, so
an auspicious time for great
symbolism.
The Queen is all powerful and uses her power to uplift, teach, protect, guide and bare witness. As we watch the Patriarchy Fall we must tap into our strength, kindness, tenderness, compassion and love to midwife the new paradigm to the feminine. A good Mantra for the Queen of Rods is: MY WILL BE DONE.

Herstory Events: August 6, 1965 – The Voting Rights Act outlaws the discriminatory literacy tests that had been used to prevent African Americans from voting. Suffrage is finally fully extended to African American women.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is
a landmark piece of federal
legislation in the United States
that prohibits racial
discrimination in voting.[7][8]
It was signed into law by
President Lyndon B. Johnson
during the height of the civil
rights movement on August 6,
1965, and Congress later amended
the Act five times to expand its
protections.
Designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the Act sought to secure the right to vote for racial minorities throughout the country, especially in the South. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the Act is considered to be the most effective piece of federal civil rights legislation ever enacted in the country.[9] It is also "one of the most far-reaching pieces of civil rights legislation in U.S. history. Source: Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act_of_1965 Herstory Birthdays: August 1, 1923 (2006) – Beatrice Medicine, Standing Rock Sioux anthropologist, focused on the roles of Lakota women in changes facing their cultures in areas including bilingual education, alcohol and drug use, abuse, socialization of children, and identity needs, author of Learning to Be an Anthropologist and Remaining Native. August 3, 1905 (1995) – Maggie Kuhn, senior rights activist, founded the Gray Panthers.
The Gray Panthers are a series
of multi-generational local
advocacy networks in the United
States which confront ageism and
many other social justice
issues. The organization was
formed by Maggie Kuhn in
response to her forced
retirement from the Presbyterian
Church at the age of 65 in 1970.
The Gray Panthers are named in
reference to the Black Panthers.

----
The 19th amendment, which was passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920. legally guarantees American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle—victory took decades of agitation and protest. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920. ----
