PRESERVATION THURSDAY: MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, I AM MY MOTHER AFTER ALL

You say or do something and you wonder, “where did that come from?” only to remember your mother said and did that and suddenly you realize you have become your mother.

The presentation also includes inspiring quotes attributed to notable famous women of all generations.
