On legacy. One day I was in a seminar where I was not wanted. The participants assumed it was over my head, and in many ways it was when it came to jargon, but when it came to having the right answers, I was the champion. The teacher warned the class not to underestimate me. So at the end of class, the teacher came up to me and said that I should write a book for my legacy. I suggested that that was how a man might leave a legacy, but for most women, we see legacy as leaving children to remember us. He had three girls and expected them all to be writers, it never occurred to him that there might be another way (abet not the only way) to leave a legacy.
