It’s really thought-provoking to consider your foremothers, like the ones whose names we will never know, hundreds and hundreds and even thousands of years ago. 

What did my great-to-the-nth-power grandmother enjoy doing in the 13th century? Maybe she enjoyed baking bread for her children and telling them stories her mother used to tell her.

Maybe my biblical times greeeeeeeaaaaat grandma liked to watch fishing boats.  My 200 AD foremother could have heard of the power of Rome and dreamt of moving there and starting a business.  My early hominid foremother could have liked picking wildflowers.

I know things weren’t fantastic for women in the early days of mankind, but there must have been moments of enjoyment and love and pleasure in being alive and I think to honor their lives (that got us here to this point in time) it’s important to remember that they were individuals who had unique personalities and not just generic ‘ancestors’.
