Georgia Sun
Dear Mom, I don’t know if you’d remember this, but when I was a little girl and we still lived in Georgia, I fell down the hardwood steps once. I started crying when I hit the landing, and you tiredly walked over to sit beside me on the floor and take me into your arms. Your body language said you were trying to be comforting, rubbing a hand up and down my arm, but your words felt like tough love.

One solemn truth of human history is the presence of millions of stories that have all gone untold. Even if all the dead were remembered by the living, there wouldn’t be enough paper in the world to chronicle all their lives. There wouldn’t be enough time to relay every story by word of mouth. Millions of lives have been lived in hiding from the eyes of history, leaving marks on the world in ways the living will never quite remember or understand; then, teetering over the edge of an abyss are a few stories on the verge of being forgotten, like the story of a woman who was executed by the French government during World War I, which was the culmination of 41 years of a life that perfectly illustrated the need for women’s liberation. In the end, her only crime was her determination to provide for herself and to survive.
