Sisterhood of Traveling

A guest post by Parneet Gosal:
Earlier tonight, I was reading JourneyWoman's eNewsletter, for women who love to travel, when one of the tips caught my eye. Pauline arrived in Mumbai late one night and engaged the Priyadarshini Taxi Service to take her to the hotel. She literally received door to door service when her driver walked her to the hotel door for safety. Pauline later learned that the service is a 24/7 fleet of pink cabs run by female cab drivers trained in self defense, with the slogan "Of Women, For Women, By Women". Now I'm no rabid feminist and find the idea of a pink anything-that's-not-a-piece-of-clothing pretty unappealing; but as an empowered woman I LOVE the idea of a badass all female cab service. You go girls!
This also got me thinking of other sites that are geared towards women. My favorites are iVillage, BlogHer and Dove's CampaignForRealBeauty. Email me at parneet.gosal@gmail.com if you have favorites to share - I'd love to hear from you!
