Wishing our educational system taught about accomplished women like Maude. What an inspiration she could be to young girls wanting to pursue traditionally male dominated professions. Swimming against the tide!

Some of us do teach women's history in K-12. ;) And this is a great month to find and fund teachers with women's history projects at donorschoose.org ... I just did!

Congratulations!
This is a wonderful shot!
