The attendant at the gas station today had a tattoo on her arm and I asked her what it was.  She showed me and responded, “It’s a quote: Well behaved women seldom make history.”  I actually chuckled right when she finished sharing that with me.  I mean, there’s a little truth in every bit of kidding, right?  She continued to tell me that it was a quote from some lady and she really liked it when she first heard it.  Although I wanted to stand at the counter and go deeper into what she thinks about the quote, it didn’t happen.  I hurried on with my day as the next customer arrived.

After googling the quote, I found that it was from Laurel Thatcher Ulirch and she actually wrote a book by the same title.  What are your thoughts about that statement?  Do women need to have a mean streak and a fight to be heard?
