I wonder if Angelou's living legacy reaches today into the lives of
modern women whose intelligence, determination--and resilience--helped
them surmount obstacles on the way to lofty positions in the world. Yes,
there are mixed messages everywhere for young women, but then there are
the achievements of a Hillary Clinton, a Michelle Obama, a Sarah Palin.
Young, determined women willing to push aside the obstacles that a
sometimes retrograde culture throws in their way can take inspiration
from those women's successes. And as Angelou once said, "History,
despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with
courage, need not be lived again." ThIS LADY speaks the
truth.
