great characters - for Women’s History Month.
By Christine Grayden
FOR MY 2022 Women’s History Month essay I compiled a list of online historical resources regarding women in Bass Coast. This year I’d like to share a few stories recorded back in the 1990s by my great aunt Olive Justice (nee Grayden) while she was aged in her 90s and totally blind.
Olive did nothing really spectacular in her life to earn her either fame or notoriety. However, blessed with a positive attitude, an adventurous spirit and an ability to ‘pivot’ long before that word took on its current economic meaning, she withstood more storms than are faced by most people. And, in common with her siblings Marguerite, Doug and Bert, she was a wonderful storyteller.
