LBD Redhead.php  WOW! WHAT A WOMAN:
Hello, all,
Read about the next Wonderful Woman I’m irresistibly implanting in your fantasies:
WOW! WHAT A WOMAN:  FRANCES GLESSNER LEE — CSI owes You big time. 🙂
I really like the saying, “WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS, MAKE THEM INTO LEMONADE”.
And Frances Glessner Lee embodies this spirit and much more.
*  Here are some of the key facts about her:
$$$  Her family’s wealth sprang from the International Harvester corporation.
$$$  At first, Frances and her brother were home schooled.  He was permitted to go to Harvard.  Her father forbade
Frances from having any college education of any kind.  BOO!!!  🙁
$$$  Her family expected Francess, to marry, have children, and only pursue activities they deemed fit for a woman
of her times and social circles.
$$$   Like Me, Frances loved the Sherlock Holmes stories.  She also was an exceptionally detailed person and
Frances really enjoyed making things with her hands.
$$$  When she was in her fifties and only after her divorce and her brother’s death was Frances free to explore her
fascination with forensic pathology.
$$$  Frances took her wealth, social connections, and her avocations and combined them to do some groundbreaking things..
$$$  In 1931, Mrs. Glessner Lee endowed the Harvard Department of Legal Medicine–which was the first one of its
kind in the United States.
$$$  A friend of her brother’s, George Burgess Magrath became Frances’s ally in encouraging the introduction and
acceptance of medical examiners and forensic pathology across the US.

Here is My question which I hope will stir up some marvelous memories and motivate you to reply:
+  Have you ever met or heard of someone who triumphed over something which was a setback or a restriction
imposed upon them?
It turns Me on when one of My postings stimulates you to send Me thoughtful questions, comments, and
suggestions.
Note- Thanks Toby for bringing this story to My attention!
