 Welcome toGreat Womenof Texas
The list of great women from thestate of Texas would certainly fill abookshelf, if not a library: AnnRichards, Barbara Jordan, BabeDidrikson Zaharias, Carrie MarcusNeiman, Molly Ivins and Lady Bird Johnson come to mind, but the list isnot just endless, it is never-ending. We know this because of theplethora of qualified candidates forthe Great Women of Texas honor wereceived this year. These nomineescovered every aspect of the spectrum – from business to nonprofits, frompolitics to academia, young to old,circumspect to celebrity.But they all shared one feature:They were all exceptional, not only intheir chosen field of endeavor, but inall aspects of their lives. That is onearea where the Great Women mirrorthe 24-7-365 world we have createdaround us. And they have excelled.Our dilemma in choosing fromamong these many nominations is agood one. As more women are nom-inated each year, we lose the ability tocatch up. May it ever be so.Robert FrancisEditor
