Charlotte Green. Generous, witty, playful, intelIigent, brave, a fighter, and gone. Charlotte took her life on May 24, 2013. Two days before her 12th birthday. Charlotte, once one of my closest friends, and now just a wisp of a memory of someone I once knew. I don’t know why she did it, and yet I understood perfectly.

Charlotte lived with anorexia and depression. I remember, once in fourth grade, she wrote a story. Her story was titled, “When I Play With the Monsters, They Bite.” She went on to describe what it was like when she played with her monsters. She said she couldn’t see them, and she couldn’t feel them, but she could hear them. And they were loud, demanding, and harmful. She said they never wanted to do what she wanted. They only wanted her to hurt herself. The teacher grew frightened of what Charlotte was describing, and took her outside to speak with Charlotte about her story. Later, I asked what Charlotte had said in response. Charlotte looked at me slowly and replied, in a quiet and guarded voice.“Liv, I wasn’t lying. I really do have

Georgia O’Keeffe was born in 1887 in rural Wisconsin, and by the young age of 10 decided she wanted to be an artist. She was taught by a local watercolorist named Sara Mann in her younger years, and went on to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1905 to 1906. In 1908 O’Keeffee stopped painting for 4 years because she disliked the more traditionalist style of painting she had been taught.

Educating the Early 20th Century Family Raising any child, whether that child is male or female, is both a delightful and intimidating experience. This is true even in early 20th century terms where Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery is set. It can be argued that for many a woman was much more daunting of a sex to raise than a man and that men are more valuable to a family.
