Barbara’s worldview has been shaped by place, family, career, and travel. She has always called somewhere in the northeast corridor of the U.S. home, but has traveled in Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean. Raised in a family of five children, she engages with large extended family who live throughout the U.S. She is a widow after 28 years of marriage and retired after a career in administration and teaching in higher education.
The book that inspired by granddaughter’s choice of Yaa Asantewaa (see "Quiet Aspirations" blog entry) is Rebel Girls Lead: 25 Tales of Powerful Women. Aimed at young readers, it is a great choice for adding to the scaffolds of our children and grandchildren.
I recommend the two books mentioned in "Quiet Aspirations" blog entry: Nancy Pelosi’s The Art of Power and Fei Fei Li’s The Worlds I See. In the first chapter of Pelosi’s book, she discusses the attack on her husband Paul and the effects it had on her children and grandchildren. This chapter made me consider that event in a whole new light. Li’s book is imbued with the value of family, the importance of support from a teacher, and a more cooperative than competitive view of a scientific journey.
