We live in a world of social media full of tweets, texts, and posts, rarely taking the time to compose a sustained, thoughtful, and researched argument for or against something that matters to us. The articles in Voices on Paper: Women Addressing Issues That Matter -- One Word at a Time seek changes for the betterment of society as a whole. The important topics include physician-assisted suicide, breaking the stigma of addiction, mainstreaming young children with disabilities, poverty and its effects on childrenÕs education, immigration in America, affordable college education, caring for soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder, the fight against poverty for single mothers and children, and the gender wage gap. As women, we are advocates and we are using writing as a vehicle to address what is important to us. Individually each of us chose a topic of personal interest, but collectively we offer solutions for a changing world in the midst of the great challenges we currently face.
