WOMEN OF ACHIEVEMENT AND HERSTORY
Irene Stuber
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2003!

GREETINGS DU JOUR FROM YOUR FRIENDS AND FANS!

Hard to believe it's been more than ten years now since Women of Achievement started coming off local bulletin boards and services such as Prodigy and Delphi. So to start, a birthday message from Jennifer Gagliardi, the first listserve administrator of abigails-l, in ascii art for old times' sake... and from the rest of us:


      Dear Irene,

You are appreciated more than simple words could ever convey. Thank you for your loving care to preserve the HERstory of beautiful women throughout space and time.

            Lovingly yours,
            M'Lynn Hartwell

You are making the world a better place
by bringing together women from around the world to share ideas, learn and take action. We can agree or disagree with you and the other fabulous women who post to the list and you provide us with a safe, respectful and vibrant space in which we can do that. You make a difference to the world, a difference that matters.

Happy, Happy 75th Birthday, Irene!!

What an incredible journey it must have been so far -- and who knows where your journey will take you next! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your amazing insights, outrage, suggestions, perspective and wisdom you have gained along the way. I so admire you, and hope I can be even half the woman you are! I just turned 35 and sometimes feel as if I'm wasting my life and running out of time to make a difference; I only need to look to you to see that all I need to do is get started -- it's never too late! Thank you for all you do!

    I hope you have a wonderful birthday -- and that you can feel the affection from the many thousands of us all over the place who look up to you!

              Sincerely,
              Jill Fekete

Thank you, thank you, thank you -- ever so kindly, Ms. Stuber, for every single one of your efforts. I so appreciate all of them and want for your 75th birthday and many, many future ones only [harmless... if there is such a (material) thing] diamonds -- at least diamond-like wishes and hugs and smiles. An Alsatian verse for you found in a Quaker songbook:

My thoughts are as free
As wind o'er the ocean.

No one can see
Their form or their motion.

No hunter can find them;
No trap ever bind them.

My lips may be still.
But -- I think what I will!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IRENE!

Thank you for making me care again and for setting a great example on how one woman can affect great change.
You are my heroine.

Many happy returns, Irene. You have given so much to so many, what could I do beyond saying a mere seventy-five thank yous? The Hell-raiser I was privileged to meet ago on delphi.com is the wise-witty woman whose common sense I admire each day. I see you on the corner with your machine, taking a stand I had to copy. I hear your counsel affirming my views relative to the divisiveness of religion which my atheist-humanist-feminist self knows to be correct and kind and so you! to the nth degree. May you be healthy and feel how loved you are by this reader. My hand to your shoulder, dear friend. I send hooray for us that you live and my

thank you for your work on behalf of all of us.

            Love,

    Dear Irene,
    Happy 75th.

    I, for one, enjoy your wit and wisdom on Abigails, Cat's Claws, and WOAH. Thank you for all of your hard work to keep us informed about our heritage as proud women and the events that affect us in our crazy world.

    I feel very lucky to know you and be part of this group.

            Love,

I don't know how many years we have been talking through email and on lists, Irene, but I do know that my life has been richer for knowing you all these years. We met on Prodigy, lost track of each other for a while and then got back in touch when Varda needed help with a sexist fight we (she and I) were in on the Classical Music list, and called you in. I think it must be close to two decades ago that we first allied ourselves with each other to fight these fights. I wish you decades more of everything good that you could want. You give so much to so many; the world is a better place because of you.

            I love you, Irene.
            Selma Singer


Dear Irene,

You bless the Earth with your presence. My life and awareness have expanded because of your Internet work. Thank you.

Happy Birthday to Irene.

You continue to inspire and educate us to go forth and 'enlighten the world'. Keep up the work, there are still many young (and old) out there that need to be reminded of their greatness.

Thank you so much, Irene. You are part of every day, a good part; when I find another angry old woman having at the forces of stupidity and evil with sharp tongue and mind, I feel pleased as punch, I feel not alone. Thanks.

Surprise, surprise! Happy birthday, Irene!

I want to wish you an obscenely wonderful day that will extend throughout the year until I get to embarrass you again with another note like this on your next birthday.

Thanks for all the feminist work you do. Most of all, thank you for being a good friend. I appreciate all the help you've given me throughout the years. I hope I've been able to return the favor.

            Best wishes to you,

Dear Irene,

I believe it was in 1996, that my computer savvy son introduced me to Catt's Claws. He knew that your wit and charm would override my fear of a machine with more than an on/off switch. I was preparing to attend my first National Convention of the League of Women Voters and there you were! Saying the words that made sense. Helping me to articulate so many hopes and dreams. I began thinking that maybe we could "Finish the Fight' of our foremothers and leave a world worthy of it's children.

Opening the door of your "Cyber-salon" to all, has been a true gift. Almost everyday you have given us your TIME!

            Thank YOU and Happy Birthday,

Happy Birthday, Irene. Thanks for educating me in regard to all the women of achievement over the centuries. Somehow I never realized that there were so many until you began disseminating all the facts of their accomplishments. Your unique contribution makes you a true Woman of Achievement!

-- Wallis, Duchess of Windsor

                Here's hoping for many more emotional roller coaster rides. Happy Birthday!
