"If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it.
It is much easier to apologize than it is to get permission."
-Admiral Grace Hopper
Grace Hopper was a mathematician, pioneer in computer science, and rear admiral in the United States Navy. I've often heard the second sentence of her quote above, but in researching it, I was surprised to find the first sentence. It's often left out, but the "good idea" part seems quite important to me!
Kym had the wonderful idea to celebrate Women's History Month with the legacy of women's words each Friday during March. Thank you, Admiral Grace Hopper and Kym!
Grace Hopper is one of my particular "s-heroes!" She was One Awesome Woman!!!
