The first woman, outside of family. who influenced who I am today was my 6th grade teacher.
I tried to be as close to her as I could at all times. I had such a crush on the old leisure suit wearing butch. *sigh*
We had ERA debates and kept Watergate scrapbooks in her class. First woman I knew that was not a Miss or Mrs, but MS.
I saw a copy of 'The Women's Room' on her desk and tried so hard to read it. It was so over my head. (but it had lesbians in it!)
