women

         A lot of women had inspired me through all the years. My mother is my number one

agatha christie inspiration, she is this feisty, principled and hardworking woman. At 82, she is still the 

most elegant and demure lady I know. Next on my list are the women authors who 

fascinated me with their writing styles, their lifestyles and their talents. From a fiction
lover, I trimmed down the list to Agatha Christie, Diane Palmer, Johanna Lindsay, 
Sandra Brown, Judith McNaught. Second to fiction, I was exposed to the world of

poetry at an early age. I look up to Christina Rossetti for her dark poems, Elizabeth 
Browning for her love poems, Emily Dickinson for her sad poems and of course Maya
Angelou for her liberal poems. Adding to the picture is my love for philosophy which 
gave me the chance to read Ayn Rand's works and of course the significant other of 
of Jean Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir who coined gynocriticism to feminist literature
finishing off the list are my top women in the world of history and politics and they are  Harriet Beecher Stowe, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, 

Joan of Arc and the late Miriam Defensor Santiago from my native land, Philippines.

     In celebration of Women's Month this entire March. let me give a grand salute 

to these women who had inspired me, fascinated me and motivated me to be my own woman as I am now.

Even tho I very much appreciate the main thrust of your piece, commemorating these women you admire & most of us are familiar with, I found myself looking for a glimpse of YOU thru these selections you offer. I wondered: what kind of woman admires these kinds of women? Your revealing list of heros is fun to dissect & ponder (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
