As 2009 draws to a close, I look back on the year and think of all the hours I have ’spent’ with my Delamina women. Many evenings after long days at work, and many weekends indoors, spent at my computer, seeking out women that I wanted to celebrate. Driven to find them, wanting to know them, desperate to do them justice in my writing.

The task was difficult, not because I had trouble finding these women, but because I found so many. So many smart, compassionate, strong, funny, brave, gracious women. So many great role models and mentors. Real, imperfect, wonderful women. I’ve enjoyed getting to know more about each of them and I look forward to 2010. Viva les femmes!

Here’s one more look at the Delamina women of 2009:
