She lives on beneath everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.

A generation later, it was the daughters of wartime women workers who completed their mothers' campaign for equal pay.
