Women have made many strides to be equal in so many ways. Here are a few women that made an impression on me as a young woman. From Barbara Jordan fiercely interrogating the members of President Nixon's administration to Mother Theresa helping the poor and needy when she had only her heart and soul to offer them. Golda Maier was a strong force against terrorism as prime minister of Israel. I want to know who are the women that influenced you in your life?
Barbara Jordan
Golda Maier
Helen Keller
Jane Goodall
Marie Curie
Mother Theresa
These women were often told they couldn’t, they had physical challenges, and faced the political control of a patriarchal world. The found their courage and stood true to their convictions and changed how people view women, disabilities and health.

Thinking of how great my Mother was
Tracey Thurman, the woman who sued her local police department for not protecting her from her abusive husband who ended up stabbing her 13 times and breaking her neck. Because of her case, many states have changed their policies on protecting domestic violence victims.
There was a TV movie about her case called A CRY FOR HELP: THE TRACEY THURMAN STORY that starred Nancy McKeon who played Jo on "The Facts of Life."
