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!

You should take a look at http://www.moneywisewomen.net. It’s obviously geared towards women but anyone can find it useful because it gives very sound advise, and opinions are based on sound and proven facts. Empowered or not, every woman should have this bookmarked as a fav.
