She Is The First Woman To Do It

Here she is, Zeynep Fadillioglu looking beautiful . And a much more casual look at work.
Here she is hard at work, and I am sure, cooking up something fantastic.
Zeynep Fadillioglu is the first woman to design a Mosque....ever.
In Istanbul, Turkey.



Sometimes it seems as though nothing will ever change.

But, Zeynep Fadillioglu gives us all hope.
Not just for woman but, maybe in some strange way, even peace.
The way we think, can change !
Remember.....baby Steps, just a few baby steps at a time.

Please read the previous post.

  3. I heard the tail end of this story on NPR the other day - so thanks for posting more information and photos. Baby steps, but you're right, forward motion is the only way to go. She's not only beautiful and does beautiful, but a ground breaker as well!
