This International Women's Day, in the auspicious Year of the Dragon, my thoughts turn not to world-renowned figures, but to the woman whose fire burned brightest in my life – my Mamaw. Unlike the mythical Dragon hoarding its treasures, Mamaw never had much in the way of material possessions. Raised in poverty, she carried that experience throughout her life, raising her three daughters with limited means. Yet, when she left this world, the wealth she left behind was immeasurable – a legacy of undying love and unwavering courage.
Rebecca Lynn IveyPublished 2 months ago in FamiliesThe Dragons Beside Me
History is filled with great women both remembered and forgotten. The first woman history remembered for me was Joan of Arc. She came alive from the pages of my history textbook in elementary school. A warrior braver than any superhero. But that was only the beginning. Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks floored me with the amount of courage they displayed. Susan B. Anthony and Amelia Earhart showed me how much you can accomplish when society tells you, you can't. Sylvia Plath and Maya Angelou taught me how much meaning words can carry. Harper Lee's book To Kill a Mockingbird inspired me so much that I named my youngest daughter, Addilynn Harper Mcghee.

In contrast to her comfort zone of making crochet knots.

We were cut from the same cloth – but she turned herself into pants, whereas I went for a long skirt. I didn't come with a manual. I was a tomboy from the beginning, and was not shy about demanding equality in treatment. Boys don't need to wear shirts, why should I? Does summer heat hit boys harder? No, I will NOT help wash dishes after Thanksgiving when all the men are sitting on their butts watching football instead of cleaning up for the women who made the meal! Why can't I learn how to work on a car, are these esoteric mysteries only available on the Y chromosome?

Some people come into our lives and fill them with wonder and inspiration. Sometimes, those people also bring us into the world so that we may do the same for them. From a very young age, my mother told me I had saved her life because it was my arrival that put her on a better path as she had someone else to live for. I never got the full details or grasped the full depth of the stones that were laid on that path, but what I did know of her leads me to believe that she would have been fine regardless of birth.
