Several women, and men, in my family worked at Bryant and Mays.
Some recognition , at last, of the contribution these brave women made to the world of work.

An amazing woman who deserves so much more credit. Take down some of those cronies sculpted in bronze around Westminster and put Sarah and her fellow working girls up on the plinth and let the world know their story.

She grew lovelier as she aged. There are so many neighborhood heroines and heroes to learn about and praise. Keep them coming, GA.
