“she didn’t have to have superpowers or a magic wand. she was simple intelligent and savvy and good at what she did. we need women to be allowed to be simply good at what they do.... we need them to be themselves, to be human: ordinary and flawed.”
(unrelated - i do wish O’Meara not only acknowledged the bad parts of milicent’s life, but vocally expresses her distaste in it more. )

i love that this is a mix of milicent’s life and also californian history - the two are uniquely intertwined
