The Power Of This Stoic Moment - With The Female Stoic

The Power Of This Stoic Moment. This short is taken from a longer session of The Female Stoic podcast. The Blue Stockings Society was an informal women's social and educational movement in England in the mid-18th century that emphasised education and mutual cooperation. It was founded in the early 1750s by Elizabeth Montagu, Elizabeth Vesey and others as a literary discussion group, a step away from traditional, non-intellectual women's activities. The Stoic approach to reaction rather than action centers on the Dichotomy of Control, which dictates that we should focus entirely on our internal responses (thoughts, judgments, and actions) while accepting external events (which we cannot control) with equanimity. The Female Stoic podcast, managing emotions, focus.
