“I call her Wild Woman, for those very words, wild and woman, create llamar o tocar a la puerta, the fairy-tale knock at the door of the deep feminine psyche.”

Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
I like Google doodles. They give me something interesting to think about while saving the day as a Help Desk technician. (Or at least trying to.)
Today’s Google Doodle was especially interesting to me because it commemorated Amelia Earnhart’s 115th birthday. It is a day worth pausing and thinking about for its own sake, of course, but—in my estimation at least— it holds an additional value in that it brings to mind other inspirational women who challenged the norms and embraced adventure. There are more than one might initially imagine, and their stories weave in and out of history. Below is a link to a list of just a few.
