In The Awakening, the mother-women were “women who idolized their children, worshiped their husbands, and esteemed it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals and grow wings as ministering angels (Chopin 19).” They readily relinquished their individual identities. Madame Ratignolle exemplified the role of the mother-woman as she was defined by and found pleasure in her roles of both wife and mother: she “played [the piano] very well, keeping excellent waltz time and infusing an expression into the strings that … inspired… keeping up her music on account of the children… because she and her husband both considered it a means of brightening the home and making it attractive (Chopin 61).” Although Edna revels in motherhood, she believes that there is an ideal truth beyond it. This truth, according to Dyer, cannot coexist with the social, the moral, or even the biological obligations of motherhood (105). Edna, therefore, finds

On January 31, 2001 Logan Marr was found dead in an unfinished basement, yards of duct tape surrounding her, and a foster mother claiming that she just fell and hit her head. Sally Schofield, a respected caseworker at Maine's Department of Health and Human Services, had taken Logan in 2000. By 2001, 5 year old Logan would be dead. “I just want Sally Schofield out of my life forever,” Logan’s mother says, 16 years later, “She’s ruined my children’s lives and mine. She took an innocent child from this world for no reason.” Logan’s death was a tragedy that highlighted the problems in Maine's child welfare systems. The mistakes that were made were unforgivable, but a lesson learned from DHHS.

Sarah Winchester was born on September 1839 in New Haven, Connecticut. She was an American heiress who inherited a gun company called the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in which she became one of the wealthiest women in the world during that time. Sarah inherited 20 million dollars and about 50% of the company after her husband, William Wirt Winchester, died of pulmonary tuberculosis. Long before her husband’s death, she gave birth to her only daughter, Annie Pardee Winchester, but died of “marasmus” which is a disease in which the body wastes away. The deaths of her husband and daughter left her to grieve and at some point, in a state of madness. Sarah Winchester is known as the person behind the construction of the “Haunted” Winchester Mystery House.

Annie Jump Cannon was born in Dover Delaware on December 11, 1863. Annie got her interest in astronomy from her mother, Mary Jump, who taught her the constellations at a young age. She attended Wellesley College, in Massachusetts, where she studied physics and astronomy. After arriving at Wellesley College, Annie contracted scarlet fever. She had fully recovered, but she remained partially deaf. This had a huge impact on her life and made her road to becoming an astronomer even harder. At Wellesley she learned how to make spectroscopic measurements. She graduated in 1884 and returned to Delaware and took a ten-year hiatus. In 1894 Annie returned to Wellesley to be a junior physics teacher. In 1896 she joined a group, later called Pickering’s Women. They were hired by Harvard College Observatory director Edward Pickering to diminish data and solve astronomical calculations. The way to science they used was “the first step is to accumulate the facts” (Mack).

She was to be imprisoned for 10 years as a teenager, 18 months of which was spent in Sachsenhausen. Riemann was only a young girl, 14 years old, when the soviets believed her to be an anti-communist and thus the majority of Riemann’s life was spent in concentration camps. Her crime? That she drew a bow on a picture of Josef Stalin’s moustache.

They never occurred to me." Instead, she got towed by a passing fishing boat, going to France, taking 5 days to make it just across the English Channel.
