There are so many AAUW members like her that can serve as role models and mentors for future generations. Fem2.0 was a one day conference (so far), but the conversation continues online at http://www.fem2pt0.com/.

She joined AAUW after earning her degree at UCLA and continued to be an active member throughout her career in education in Southern California.

She raised 3 children while teaching second grade and earned her masters degree after they were grown when she became a Psychometrist for the La Puente School District.

……another one of those untold stories of those in the ranks. She was an inspiration to many of us.

They were great stories we should get up on our blog. Thanks for triggering the idea!
