Welcome graphic

The West Volusia Florida Chapter of NOW is a small and growing, active group of women and men.  We have been in this area and actively speaking out since 1979.  We support the equal rights of women with men in all areas.  NOW is the largest grass roots activist organization.  At the local level we work on issues that are revelant to our own community.

To The Wild Woman Within
Take your power
Take the world
Face the day
Face reality
Alter your personality
Listen to the wild woman within
 
Put down your nice words
Put down your sweetness
Put down your naivete
You are you-no one's chattel
Don't listen to male prattle
Listen to the wild woman within
 
Follow your heart
Follow your intuition
Follow the freedom path
Be you adolescent or crone
Your psyche is your own
Listen to the wild woman within
