Modem day women can represent themselves in business, and travel most anywhere with only a cellular phone as a companion.

Anonymous Barber goals high and persevere towards them. In August Of 1776, John Adams, the second president of the United States wrote to his wife, Abigail, complaining of the sad state of affairs regarding education of that day.

If much depends as is allowed, upon the early education of youth, and the first principles which are instilled take the deepest root, great benefit must arise from literary accomplishment in women." This long ago Abigail Adams hit the nail on the head. I just wonder why so many of us took so long to catch up on the worth of women.
