WOW.
What an accomplishment for such a young girl. It deffenitly made me think about that if she hadn't made such a huge impact on indigo and started working with it, then would we have it now? Would someone else have discovered it? How soon would it have been found? Those are all questions that immediatly ran through my mind when I was thinking about how it impacted South Carolina history. What do you think about if she hadnt disscovered the dye or even the indigo. Do you think we would have it today?
Not only did she discover that indigo made dye, but the kind of person she was. I mean really we would never think that maybe me, my family, or my friends would ever be taking care of or running small buissnesses how bizare. She was such a stron woman she took what her dad told her to do and worked with it: she never doubtedwhat her dad told her.
I dont know that if i was in her shoes i couldve done what she did. It is always easier said than done. Im sure now that I would say that im strong enought to do and responsible , but who knows. Haha.
This girl had a major im pact on not just South Carolina, but on me. I think that reading her story would make anyone a stroner woman and want to be more like her because she never gave up and always kept on going which is a great quality.

well i hope to hear back from you soon!
Hope your having a great week:)

Hey Sydney! How is your week going?? I'm sure you're ready for the weekend. I know I am.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you. Eliza was such an inspiration to women. It had to be so tough for her to run three plantations. It had to be such hard work to do all of that by herself.
She was such a strong individual. She fought against the typical stereotype of women in those days. Why do you think the men told her not to grow the indigo? What do you think is the impact of her being a woman and growing indigo & discovering the dye?
I think it is amazing that she accomplished such things despite her gender.
Until next time...

MY week has been great!
ReplyDeletedid you do anything for halloween??
I defenitly agree with you in the sense she did fight against those stereotypical women through the time period she was in.
I think maybe the men told her not to grow the indigo becasue they might have been afraid of the fact that a woman of her age or just a woman in generall could discover something that one day would become a huge cash crop.
I think that since Eliza being a woman made all women believe that they could do anything and not be hendered by if they were a male or a feamle. SHe defenitly did make a huge impact on the woman around her in that time, but also the women to come through the generations.
Hope your weekend was great!
have a good day...

Hey Sydney.
ReplyDeleteSorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you. With the semester coming to an end things are a little bit busy. I hope you had a great Halloween. My sister, my brother, and myself were the "Three Blind Mice" :) How about you? What was your costume?
I love you that realize what an impact Eliza Pickney and all the other women we discussed have on women today. I've learned so much from reading their stories, I'll never doubt my abilities ever again. And I'm so glad that you and I got to discuss them throughout this semester. It was so nice getting to know you through our blog. I hope you liked this assignment as well.
Have a great rest of the year. And Happy Holidays :)
