Thanks to you I’m learning about such interesting women. Especially Canadian women, many, such as today’s Dr. Anne Anderson, that I’d never heard of before.

Her important work will last for ages, what a wonderful legacy.
ReplyDeleteHow very interesting! There was a Hawaiian woman named Mary Pukui who was the author of the contemporary Hawaiian dictionary that is considered definitive. She played a big role in the re-emergence of the Hawaiian language after generations of oppression. If you want something important done, ask a woman!
