Topic: Navel gazing
Although this is an interesting program that yielded lovely results for Searchie, I found my own results rather prosaic. Accurate, but very much about my external life. Better insight into my internal workings (as I was reminded by a recent post here) can be obtained if one knows who my childhood female role models were.

In fact, I didn't even realize until just now that they're all fictional. Funny. It's not like I wasn't aware of interesting and accomplished real women - I was fascinated by the lives of women like Helen Keller, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Marie Curie, Golda Meir, Elizabeth I, and Emily Dickinson - but somehow they just weren't quite as inspirational to me as my fictional heroines. I suspect that it may mostly be that the real-life ladies suffered by comparison because they didn't come with TV shows or action figures.
