I just finished
Legends: Women Who Have Changed the World through the Eyes of Great Women Writers. It is amazing to me how much you can read and explore in just five minutes a day...in this case, a page or two a day. Fifty portraits that have now piqued my interest and I will check my Library's holidings to see if we have biographies of each of these incredible women. A few were new to me: Aung San Suu Kyl and Sister Helen Prejean. Some I knew their name and disciplines, but little else: Lynn Margulis, Diana Vreeland, McCarthy, and Beryl Markham. And somewhere in this home I have biographies of Katherine Graham, publisher of the Washington Post, and Eleanor Roosevelt. My reading list is growing:
- Inidira Gandhi
- Mother Teresa
- Zora Neale Hurston
- Rachel Carson
- Golda Meir
- Harriet Tubman
- Jane Goodall
So many role models to read about...a page or two a day...leads one down the path to 30-60 minutes a day!
