La casa di Ann.

“I did not want my tombstone to read, ‘She kept a really clean house,’”*
Ann Richards, 1 settembre 1933 – 13 settembre 2006. Governatore del Texas tra il 1991 e il 1995, prima donna a ricoprire l'incarico.

* Ho trovato la frase di Ann Richards in questo post di Judith Warner (solo per abbonati), in cui trovo anche queste linee di profonda saggezza: You can’t bake cookies and make it to the Senate. And that’s not just because there isn’t enough time. More profoundly, it’s because it just isn’t human to do all that. With all of our spouting off these days about the glorious variety of women’s Choice, there is one basic choice that we are not humanly able to make: we cannot choose what kind of people we are or what we are driven, drawn, destined to do. The best we can do is be ourselves – and stand up for what it takes to bring our self into being..
