Well said. We often see history through a lens comprising modern times and culture. I'm so glad we're learning more about this, and of course, you're aware of family oral history regarding a certain ancestor who spied for the Union as well as another who held off rogue troops with a single shotgun after the Civil War. Glad I finally got to read this! And of course, you set your own standard in that long ago attack. You never cease to amaze us.
Thank you so much for this sweet reply! Made my day ☺️ I am proud we come from a long line of strong women. You certainly carry that ancestral torch well! 😜
Exactly! It's important to highlight history that shows men and women working together, as opposed to being at polar opposites, which is what a lot of history that is taught shows. There's a whole other world out there regarding history that so many are completely unaware of. Pretty crazy.
Fascinating essay, Rebecca! I did not know any of this. But I'm not too surprised. I've always had a higher opinion of women's abilities than many or most men.
This is inspiring me to look more clearly into my girlfriend’s warrior character traits and her additional physically-strong and protective traits. Thank you for helping me become a tad more seeing. I guess that my blindness isn’t permanent.

Our females are definitely an inspiration. And every one of them had a strong man at their side. Teamwork matters.
