Women of the Willow

As in any great revolution that has truly ever mattered, it has been born because something was not right in someone’s world, and that something, or somebody, had to be changed. Abigail Adams, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Charlotte Bronte each held a purpose behind their rebellions. They fought for a cause, a reason, and a need for something that they helped to change, not only in their time, but historically for all women to follow. They fought for their own independence, individuality, and self respect. They started their own fires and put some fires out along the way. From a new nation, to women, and children, to literary power that placed women’s rights and equality in full view for the whole world to see, they made the changes that inevitably had to be made. One can only bow and say, hats-off to these Women of the Willow, their voices in need, became voices indeed.
