I remember being riveted as a little girl whenever a woman appeared in our history lessons: Abigail Adams, Sojourner Truth, Ida Tarbell, Amelia Earhart. Even if it just amounted to a sentence in a dusty book -- and often that's all they got -- it thrilled me. The great men in our history books thrilled me too, but it meant something different, something quietly momentous, to learn that a women had done something important. It opened the world up a little more. It made me dream a little bigger.
