This is yet another example of how women were (are?) feared in history because of their intelligence, strength, and intuition! <br /><br />Did you know that this past April Variety magazine announced that Meryl Streep had funded and become involved in the creation of a screenwriters lab for women writers over 40, to be run by New York Women in Film and Television? Let's hope that her connection to this project will help bring stories like that of Mr. Burns and his mother's to the screen, to inspire and educate the public of the vital role that women have played in culture, politics, education, medicine, law, and so much more.<br /><br />Your daughter-in-law, with her movie star looks, could easily portray a leading lady, (perhaps a young mother Burns?) in the movie version of this amazing story!<br /><br />xoxo<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-88158686354568265612015-08-18T12:17:06.131-07:002015-08-18T12:17:06.131-07:00Once again, behind every great man is a great woma...Once again, behind every great man is a great woman...or mother ;). <br /><br />Thank you for this history lesson dewena.

Loved every moment. 200+ in the class, and I had almost 100 average midway. Discovered most were failing the course. Major shock. Who could not pass this easy stuff? In hindsight, they were bored & didn't like the topic. A girl I sat near often, and we always said 'hi' but no more, approached me after that midway statement of failing by professor, she was failing. And, a fellow engineering student, top of every class. We became study partners. She helped me raise my engineering grades and I helped her get an 'A' in the women/history course. Did not keep up with this incredible young woman. She's probably a retired multimillionaire from the tech industry !!<br /><br />XOTTara Dillardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233493520013405385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-85476597931599002112015-08-18T06:11:54.274-07:002015-08-18T06:11:54.274-07:00Dewena, thank you for sharing this information!
