The A to Z of Women's Legacy

In the blogging world, the month of April is for the Blogging from A to Z  April Challenge.

Not only is participating in the blogging challenge a great way to land a few eyes on new posts, but a great way to find cross-sections and niches of writers. For many women the blog has taken the place of what were called “ladies magazines” from the 19th through early 21st Century, and for other it has taken the place of letter writing, diary keeping, or journaling.  These modes of communication did not belong to women alone, but they were ones at which women excelled.

This challenge provides us, in our new venture, a great opportunity to blog about the basics of Women’s Legacy  in 26 articles or posts that cover some of the basics concepts behind this new twist on what it is to be a whose family is raised, if she ever had one of her own. We will be presenting many of the things that women do after any children they might have had are adults and are venturing into the land of creating lives separate from the family in which they were raised. We are much more than this, but let us start with the basics.

 
This post is primarily an advance view of April posts, the topics we are covering this month from A to Z.

Legacy, especially women’s legacy, seems to lend itself to A to Z coverage, as once an trace of a woman’s life was apt to be found in the needlework samplers stitched and signed to display textile and needlecraft skills of a young woman, often with alphabets and numerals showcased.
