Dear Re-readers:

You know the phrase...it’s on coffee mugs, T-shirts, bumper stickers, wall hangings, greeting cards and dozens of memes. It’s been attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Anne Boleyn and Marilyn Monroe.

The quote? Well-behaved women seldom make history. It was penned by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich in a 1976 article, “Virtuous Women Found: New England Ministerial Literature, 1668-1735.”
