Working Women and Feminism: Patricia Meyers

The name of the woman I’m featuring this week, Patricia Meyers, will probably sound completely unfamiliar to all of you. That’s because she is my paternal grandmother.

Quick Hit: Is this Odd?

I was looking for conspiracy theories on Disney (don’t judge) and I came across this (unrelated) article…. http://www.momlifetoday.com/2011/03/50-ways-to-inspire-your-husband/ It’s an article on 50 Way to Inspire your Husband…duh.

Yet again, we have another roundup of what we have been reading this week for your consideration and enjoyment.
