I am so thrilled @amariespeaks posted the link to this story, @malloryblythe!
It seems we have amazing grandmas and we are honored to tell their stories! You did a great job telling the story of your Grandma! She was an incredible woman of courage, brilliance. She sounded more like a "trailblazer" than a follower!
Both @amariespeaks and I, independent of each other, wrote stories about our Grandmas. Since then, we have been discussing a possible game or contest, allowing any/every on to honor and celebrate their Grandmothers!
I am sure you have read @amariespeaks' story. Here is the link anyway ...

Both of your submissions were great! I accidentally double commented on yours (I had completely forgotten that I had responded when you first posted). The women in that generation were all superheroes in their own ways. Women now certainly don't have it easy (especially not in many corners of the world where women are still struggling simply to exist as autonomous humans) but it's easy to forget how much we owe to the waves of feminism that have come before us. It's a great reminder of how far we've come and how much is at stake for us to keep the movement going. I think a contest to write a biography about your grandma is an excellent idea!
