I guess one of the interesting parts of my biography is that I have always been able to connect with women and have a trusting relationship with them, even with some who are usually distrustful of men. In the culture where I am living there are many things that are considered women's knowledge or Woman's Work that I am well-versed in, and therefore I am considered quite eccentric. For instance I know more about Midwifery and menstrual cycles than most people. Sometimes it's just best not pipe up and let people know that. Australia has many powerful medicines and it would be a great asset to be familiar with them. I suppose the natives and the women of Australia are more judicious than my teachers, and they probably have good reasons for their suspicion...
