Women's History Month: My Favourite Female Ancestor

My friend and fellow Blogger Lisa Alzo has a Meme for March - Fearless Females: 31 Blogging Prompts to Celebrate Women's History Month

I encourage readers to join in. Lisa has some terrific blogging prompts for each day of Women's History Month.  

Meanwhile, because there are 5 Fridays in March, here are my 5 Blogging Prompts for Women's History Month. I will write my own stories each Friday (and participate in as many of Lisa's 31 Prompts as I can!) I hope you'll join in with your own.

Here is my first Friday post for Women's History Month:

1. Choose your favourite female ancestor and write a brief biography of her life. Add it as a short comment here or as a blog post on your own blog. Add a photo if you have one. 

This was an easy one. It has to be my maternal grandmother, Ruth Simpson Fuller Richardson Bates. Here's a blog post bio I wrote about her a few years ago called Happy Birthday Grandma Ruth!
and another one I wrote for Sharing Memories called Sharing Memories (Week 47): Thinking of Grandma

I miss her!
