Wow!
The Kitchen Sisters have launched their latest project - The Secret Life of Girls on NPR.
Over the next year they will air installments / stories from the research they have done over the past few months, I don't know how long they have been working on this.
The first installment was great.
Reading about and hearing varying perspectives on everyday life is always mind expanding. One story that was particularly interesting to me was about a woman in a nomadic tribe in the Sahara, I believe.
"Oumar says her society has a different take on marriage than the committed-till-you-die scenario.
'Among the Tuaregs, if someone doesn't love you anymore, you have to leave him," she says. "They say that the more times you divorce, the more beautiful you are — and successful. The women throw a party when they divorce. The divorce party is a bigger party than the wedding.' "
