Self explanatory I would think!


Sidebar: Before a certain point in history, it was not a woman’s prerogative to change her mind, or to have much of any choice at all.

Eventually some social orders became enlightened enough to “allow” women some choice over their own lives, and it was so extraordinary a concept that it bore some explaining.

Thank you for this, homoe! While it does seem self explanatory, I do feel it's important to remember that women, for what's seems to be since time immemorial, have not been on equal footing in American society. *thanks truly, for your post*

"Play It By Ear"....................




To act according to the circumstances; improvise. To decide how to deal with a situation as it develops rather than planning how you are going to react.

Play it by ear

An novel ability for any person to play an favorite song on the piano, or any musical instrument, without any formal training or ability to do so.

Side notes: I'm formally trained as an person to play the piano, but I do have an aptitude for "playing it by ear" ....
