Women's International Center
On October 6, 1982, at her fiftieth birthday celebration, Gloria Lane, received a telephone call from her physician. He told her she was "officially" diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. With destiny staring her in the face on that fateful night, Gloria made a critical decision. She could give in to her illness, or she could make it work for her. Obviously, she chose vision over the victim mentality. On that day, Women's International Center was founded, whose continuing mission is "To Acknowledge, Honor and Encourage Women." DO NOT MISS THIS SITE!!! (After this month, this link will be listed on A Room of Her Own's "Women's Resources" page.)
