Legends Poetry         

The following women are also "Living Legends".  They have made contributions to family, community, education, civil rights, religion, literature, and/or politics.  They have shown  endurance, determination, survival, longevity, courage, resistance and tolerance across the years.

If you would like to add a "living legend" to this list, please send us an email.  We will assign an LLN (pronounced ELLEN) to each legend.  The assigned LLN (Living Legend Number) will be unique to each woman.   So if you know the LLN...then you know your Legend and you can easily find her in this list.
