Thank you, My Linh

I do understand what you're saying, but think that the women and literacy
and poverty/race/literacy lists are somewhat distinct and not altogether
overlapping   (as you may have read on that women/lit list).

I don't know what, if anything, can be done to address this, but think it
bears consideration.

thank you

Janet
