    Seeing how she put her dream above all else inspires me to do the same. Becoming a mother did not slow her down from climbing up the ladder of success, nor did her job make her lesser of a mother. She even divorced her husband because she was so devoted to her focus.

She defied the boundaries in which women of that day were placed in and put herself out there, by going door to door and letting her name be known.…

If she wouldn’t have left, she probably would’ve ended up getting killed. She was smart by following her instincts and being independent. If I was in her situation, I would have tried going to the cops or to neighbors to get her husband fired from his job in law enforcement and locked up in jail.…
