Some of you will remember me starting this altered book all about France.
I have never been there and probably never will travel there,
but I can dream, and I can research all about this lovely country's
people, landscape, history, food, etc.
This is my adventure into "All Things French".
I hope you enjoy my latest pages :)
Today's post is about two very different women,
with much in common.
* Neither were born in France, but each made France their home.
* Both were discriminated against.
* Both were told that they could never live their dreams.
* And both went on to show the world that, YES THEY COULD!
Josephine Baker . . .
the show girl who took Paris by storm.
&
Madame Curie . . .
scientist and Nobel prize winner.

and easier to read :)
WOW . . . quite a legacy for a woman born in 1867.
Then there is Josephine born 1906 in St. Louis, MO, USA
(move down before reading,the next photo is larger)
It just goes to show that this woman had much
more going on in her life than entertainment.
Here is a flip book of portraits.
As you can see . . . I have not given up on this book.
I've just gotten busy with outdoor projects.
I hope you enjoyed this post,
and that you will leave a comment.
I get so much pleasure reading what you have to say :)
Your blogging sister,
