Wow, twelve children and taking them along while she found work. One of my favorite things is listening to my grandma's stories. She is 90 years young. I think its great you saw feminist qualities now that you have a new feminist lens.

I am a spitting image of my mother. All the things I don't have in common with my mother come from my grandmother. I loved reading of her journey and the many other amazing things you have on this blog. Thanks for sharing and letting us be a part of your wonderful history.

Glass, something that can be shattered, like maybe she was a bit after the death of her mother- but also metal, something really strong and enduring, just like she was.

I had also same experience. The roles that my mother and my grand mother had in my life is not comparable with others. <br />I agree with you. Now, when I look back to my childhood, I find my mother a strong character with ability to support her family and her husband. According to our reading in this course, she would be in the category of feminist women of my life. <br />You have great grandmother! a fantastic feminist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437186735921208101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435127126569268376.post-80610150915075417672015-05-11T06:48:42.196-07:002015-05-11T06:48:42.196-07:00This is fantastic, Lorena.

Also, your blog reflects an integration of artwork, food, geography, memories, prose, etc. -- the interdisciplinarity of your approach makes all of this very powerful.
