This month's issue of V celebrates the phoenix, women who have overcome life's obstacles and risen from the ashes. You'll read the stories of several women who have made lemonade out of their lemons. Sally Wetzler is a whitewater kayaker and kayak instructor to wounded vets - despite needing a wheelchair for the past 20 years. Susan Dunham's biggest fight wasn't just against blindness, but against the blows to her self-esteem from a verbally abusive father and husband. Inspired by the birth of her first daughter, Karen Horn overcame a major weight problem that had plagued her since childhood. Kim Dunham-Quigley's story is both a reminder of the importance of leaving abusive relationships and an inspiration that it can be done. And with the help of a concerned dentist, Mary Helen Baird overcame a nagging physical problem.
Even our Art department is a reminder of the beauty of the phoenix - Richmond Ballet instructor who refuses to let lupus stifle the dance in her life.
You'll also find a focus on women of the Virginia Film Festival; how to conquer headaches without medication; an experience at the National Association of Black Journalists convention; financial advice for women facing divorce; and more!
Be sure to check out our advertisers, too! Without their support, we couldn't support the women of Virginia.
May this month's issue of V empower, enlighten, and entertain you!
