My first cup of tea was in college. I attended an all-women’s college, surrounded by a sisterhood of strength and hope for the future. After hours of academic focus, the chaos of the dinning hall was a welcome reprieve from classes, research, and papers. Here we found therapy among peers that couldn’t always be halted. Lingering meant a cup of tea, or two, or more, until the castle of cups in the middle of the table could be deemed a new accomplishment. After fifty years, I still treasure the friendships and lasting support found so long ago over a cup of tea!
Now, hours away from my alma mater I remain surrounded by strong women of distinction in the granite state. I now linger over stories of women like Hannah Davis, Dinah Whipple, and Sara Bagley, whose lives inspire our curiosity and perseverance. Women’s History Month typically goes past barely noticed through slush and bad weather. This year, I am starting the month with a celebration of the strength of women at the Nashua Historical Society on March 3rd. I am looking forward to connecting with wonderful women again over a cup of tea.
