Who's Your Wonderwoman?

We also asked newsletter readers; here are their Sheros:

Andrea England said,

"My super heroine is my daughter Mary. She is only seven years old but she has supported me while I was very ill, getting divorced, finding new love, and taking on a PhD. I wouldn't be who I am if not for her continued strength and smiles. She is also a lover of super heroes and made superhero halloween costumes. Her name is Mary England."

Diana Rhoades said,

"I would like to nominate several wonder women in my life... Regina Romero, Pam Sutherland, and Kim Rhoades."

Sarah Neal said,

"Please add Sharon McCurry to you list: she is the most wonderest, wonder woman ever."
