At a time when the country is deciding whether to elect its first woman as president of the United States, it is amazing to see the remarkable shift in perception on what women can do in our 21st-century American culture.

That was certainly the case when the Women Build Committee form the Habitat for Humanity Choptank continued to work on their project on Pleasant Alley in Easton last Saturday.
