Celebrating Women

To celebrate the 10th volume of Bookmark This, I am celebrating women! What can I say? I just love them! My friends, my mother, my mother-in-law, my daughters, my real sister, my Wellesley sisters, my sisters-in-law — they all give me strength and love and support in a uniquely female way. Not to be cliquey, but I feel like we share a secret that is difficult to verbalize but easy to feel. And no matter how hard they try, the opposite sex will never, ever find out what our secret is — not because we won’t tell them, but because there are simply no words for it. To that end, Bookmark This #10 features women who have touched me in some way, be it how they write, cook or make a difference.
