May this dress remind us to heed our still, small voice ...

Today my still, small voice is telling me to celebrate national women's history month by diving back into my #womenwonders series - highlighting the accomplishments and words of wisdom of the many amazing women. 

This project is so important to me as I believe that women are not celebrated and credited nearly enough for their contributions to our world and life as we know it! 

Heed the still, small voice 

that so seldom leads us wrong, 

and never into folly.

Mme. du Deffand

Marie Anne de Vichy-Chamrond, marquise du Deffand

 (1697 – 23 September 1780) was a French hostess and patron of the arts.

She was born at the Château de Chamrond, in Ligny-en-Brionnais of a noble family. 

Educated at a Benedictine convent in Paris, where she showed great intelligence and a skeptical, cynical turn of mind. The abbess of the convent was alarmed at the freedom of her views.

She appeared in her earlier days to be incapable of any strong attachment, but her intelligence, her cynicism, and her esprit made her the centre of attraction of a brilliant circle.
