I felt like I was “one of hers” too - even if she did pressure me to have a baby (after giving up on my marriage lol) - I’ll miss you Jean. You are among the Boss Ladies I consider formative to my being. Rest In Peace. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Jean would call me when I lived in NYC & LA & DC to whisper about things she thought she couldn’t say out loud. I loved this. She would tell me about conversations she’d had with her pastor about race & politics. She would also say how she felt like I was “one of hers.” (4/?) — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not sure most of these women - or any? - would’ve said they were feminists but they absolutely were. They were high-energy, backbones in ther families and communities. After my grandma died, Great Aunt Jean - who would secretly whisper politics with me - took the lead. (3/?) — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

She had ten children (who lived) mostly during the Great Depression. She was married to a coal miner and preacher. Eight of her children were daughters. Including my grandma Wilma and her sister Ruby, a de facto grandma to me who died long ago. (2/?) — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

I’m sure this will surprise no one, but I hail from a long line of sassy women from Appalachia. And today (well yesterday) I lost two of the greats. My great-grandma, Elsie, was the ‘town’ (it’s not even really a town) gossip but also the town’s go-to de facto therapist. (1/?) — PolitiTweet.org

As @jestei pointed out they aren’t even truly right now a ‘Washington’ team. So I’m now recommending ‘The Washington exurbs’ or the ‘Swamp-adjacent monsters’ or the ‘just-inside-the-beltway commuters.” — PolitiTweet.org
