She Said It - Week Four

 

"Do it right the first time."

"I made you some baked apples."

"Let's go dig some sassafras roots."

"Here, have another corn fritter."

-Hazel, Extraordinary Grandmother

While those words may not have been said by a famous person, they were spoken with candor, clarity, and love. They shaped my childhood and continue to guide me as an adult.

 Thank you, G'ma.

Kym had the wonderful idea to celebrate Women's History Month with the legacy of women's words each Friday during March. Thank you, Kym!

She Said It: Week Three

 

"I'm going to be a famous scientist."*

"I'm never going to get married."

"I'm never going to have kids."

 -Bonny, 6 years old

This girl is definitely not a historical figure, just someone who is eternally grateful that none of the words she said way back when turned out to be true.

*This is as far as I got in my quest to become a famous scientist. I'm neither famous, nor a scientist, and that's just fine with me!

She Said It: Week Two

"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!

She Said It: Week One

  

“Sitting here with one's knitting, one just sees the facts." 

-Agatha Christie, The Thirteen Problems

Kym had the wonderful idea to celebrate Women's History Month with the legacy of women's words each Friday during March. Thank you, Agatha Christie (and Miss Marple) for all of your words and thank you, Kym, for your excellent idea!
