The scrapbook articles so far, portray Ethel as a serious aspiring reporter. Today, on my other blog, Past-Present-Future, I shared a lighter side of Ethel. As part of an ongoing series commemorating Women's History Month spearheaded by +Lisa Alzo's. Today's prompt was: Social Butterflies, and I couldn't resist including the story about Ethel under that prompt, although it really should have been posted as part of Ethel's Scrapbook. Do make sure to check out! Day 17: Fearless Females: Social Butterfly? Very Fishy!
I wonder what Ethel would have made of the place I work www.diamond.ac.uk
ReplyDeleteI bet she would have loved it! May some of her Dean's research was the foundation of the high tech stuff you do with X-Rays today!
DeleteEthel is stunningly beautiful and stunningly smart to be a chemistry major at Rice. I'll bet all her professors were impressed and surprised. I look forward to reading what she does next.
ReplyDeleteAnd Rice is a long way from Boston! A big trip, in those days.
She was really beautiful wasn't she? And extremely smart. Remember she was only 14 when she started college! She never gave herself credit for any of that though. It's more like Boston is far away from Houston. Ethel was a native Houstonian. (She was born in NH but moved to Houston at the age of two). She did join her children in Boston toward the end of her life, but spent 68 years in Houston.
