from the Yiddish word meyvn, meaning “one who understands”

MAVEN: AN EXPERT IN A FIELD

 

Women who’ve made it through five or so decades of life

are experts in many fields.

We have to be. We are called upon to play many roles.

We are creators, nurturers, lovers, leaders, friends,

mothers, sisters, confidantes, pioneers, innovators, mavens.

We understand.
