It can become like watching lionesses hunt on the African savanna. By going to where they are, we can truly know them. And there’s lessons, examples and rays of hope in it every time. We watch women fight, we watch them claw out of tight corners and we watch them succeed. As we observe, we learn how they do this, and as you’ll soon find out from the Lowcountry women featured in this issue, one tactic is that they don’t do it alone. They build a pride, and they become a powerhouse of unstoppable females. In this issue, you’ll discover teams of women creating waves bigger than you’ll find at the Folly washout. You’ll get to know a group of everyday women who lace up the skates for roller derby bouts with their teammates to become beasts for two 30-minute periods of painstaking greatness. You’ll learn about the deep roots of women supporting women in learning about our local Girl Scouts. You’ll see all-female Realtor® teams achieving stats that rival any in all of South Carolina. You will see what happens when powerful forces collide in space. That kind of power, set against the backdrop of all that is Charleston — her bones, her history, her resilience — is nothing short of spectacular. You might not see a cloud of electric pink smoke settle over the Charleston Harbor, but we guarantee you’re going to feel it. The Team at Charleston Women From the Team
