the nature of women & girls Questionnaire

This questionnaire is meant to be taken lightly and playfully. I hope it will help you learn more about yourself, your history and your place (literally) in the world. Even if your place is a vacant lot on an urban street the wonder of it all is there, between the cracks. Concrete is never monolithic and a child can find meaningful relationship with a spider weaving a web over dried up weeds.
