Random memory lapse. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait for the next one!T.

It's actually what made me finalize my idea for this series because I think there are many people out there who don't know very much about these women and what they've done.frau sally benzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01054413520223145494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-43953032602366592362009-03-13T09:03:00.000-04:002009-03-13T09:03:00.000-04:00What a beautiful series!<BR/><BR/>I first read about Huerta after seeing <A HREF="http://www.glamour.com/magazine/2009/03/american-icons#slide=8" REL="nofollow">this picture</A> of America Ferrara dressed as her for the American Icons photo shoot. (I also live under a rock when it comes to history sometimes).<BR/><BR/>Thank you for highlighting her life in your series. I also like reading about women not being "perfect mothers", b/c I think it normalizes mother hood, and helps we mothers live up to realistic standards, and not the fetishized version that everyone holds up.ouyangdanhttp://randombabble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-64089731693654381762009-03-13T08:18:00.000-04:002009-03-13T08:18:00.000-04:00thanks for this. i love that part about her not being a perfect mother...it made me feel a lil bit better about my (non-perfect mothering) day ;)mai'ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14656556134583235114noreply@blogger.com
