Looking at this character, it was difficult to believe that she had a dozen children. She was slim, tall, and beautiful and had red hair. She worked closely with her husband in the field of engineering even though this was highly unusual for a woman in the early 1900s. After his death, she traveled to Europe to give lectures and to try to persuade her husband's clients to remain with her so that her family could stay together. Even though she was very busy with her work, her children were her priority. Somehow she always came up with the time to become an integral part of their lives. This character was very resourceful and economical. She didn't worry about details that she felt others could handle, and she included her children and their opinions in her decisions.
