Ida and all women who fought against the system for changes in inequitable social constructs deserve our gratitude as we benefit from their struggles today.Marlene/Novelladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159928965340764077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-83546658322086663112022-02-11T21:49:49.714-05:002022-02-11T21:49:49.714-05:00Great article.

She was a strong woman with a stubborn will for those things she believed in as good for the people. Although not as attractive as some of the other presidential wives, she was one of the best.

I love finding tidbits like this and researching further. Eleanor Roosevelt was one of my favorites. I remember her as the First Lady. Thanks for stopping by.Martha W.

I would have liked to meet any of the women who are highlighted in this blog, and also Eleanor Roosevelt, who had a reputation of saying what she thought in clever ways. I like one attributed to her, "Do one thing every day that scares you."Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
