The world has lost a great lady. She was a true leader--the kind that stands up and inspires in the face of hardship and tragedy and even times of peril. A bona fide icon representing just how far a modern woman can go, she was so proud of being a woman.
I love that she was a chemist. I love that she was called, "Iron Lady."

They're exactly what I needed to read as I wade deeper into the final weeks of the semester.
