Yes

Emily Warren Roebling, the Woman Behind the Man Who Built the Brooklyn Bridge

She was not an engineer. But she was instrumental to the construction of the great engineering feat.

Too much and not enough.
I lack the language to honor her properly.

Humans are hard-wired to run from pain, so you may want to sell stocks when markets gyrate. But before you do that, try physical human contact instead.

I will sell some stock to buy some shelter.

Theresa May Calls Out ‘Mansplaining’ in Parliament. But Was It?

Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain denounced a comment from Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour Party leader, as “mansplaining.”

The situation in Britain is unbearable.

The past is not a guide.
