The prompt for 15 March is to write a short (six-word) tribute that characterizes a female ancestor.

March 15 — Write a six-word memoir tribute to one of your female ancestors.

This exercise is based on the book, “Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure.”

Here is mine for my grandmother.
