I recently re-read this collection of essays and was again astounded by the bravery, courage, & strength of the women who authored these stories. I‘ve included a picture of a quilt that I saw at the modern quilt guild in Pasadena CA several years ago. The artist quilted this by having women write the words “nevertheless she persisted.” It was breathtaking and timely. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
