August 30, 2012 by
JOHANNESBURG, August 2012 (IRIN) - Boys learning new ideas of masculinity around campfires in rural Africa and “sisterhoods” formed to provide a common voice to women are starting to change attitudes about African women farmers, say the authors of a forthcoming book about gender and agriculture.

On the other side we'll have the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. I expect this to be stressful for many. Virgo knows, or thinks it knows. Pisces confuses. People feel victimized with the Moon in Pisces.
