TNA’s Anna Belle celebrated in Women’s Magazine!
September 1, 2009

|Congrats to The New Agenda’s Anna Belle Pfau, author of our popular bi-weekly series “What Every Women Should Know.” Anna Belle is a featured women in this month’s issue of Today’s Woman Magazine.
Here’s part of the article:
Every person owns her own destiny and determines her own future. It sounds cliché, but if you need real-world proof, Anna Bell Pfau, 38, is happy to share her story. Born “dirt poor” in Texas, she ran away from home and hitchhiked across the country five times before landing herself a spot at Maryhurst in Louisville, where she spent the next two and a half years being rehabilitated, supported, and inspired. Fast forward to today. Anna Belle is an English professor at Brown Mackie College working on her master’s degree at UofL. She runs a popular political blog (peacocksandlilies.com), publishes a bi-weekly column about women’s history in The New Agenda, dedicates herself to her students, most of whom were not on the college track in high school, and is a wife and mother of daughter Clancy, 15.

Anna Belle – you go girl!!!
Congrats Anna Belle!!!!
Inspiring story with valuable lessons. I really enjoy peacocksandlilies, also, btw.
YAY Anna Belle! You deserve it!
congrats Anna Belle,
I am always looking forward to your column at TNA and also enjoy peacocks and lilies. So important to tell women’s history. If we could only get it into the regular school curriculum, had a suffragette or Alice Paul day to celebrate, being observed like MLK day.
Hooray, hooray, hooray!
Thank you so much. It really has been a blast. I love how they mentioned the real women who inspired me, including Dr. Anne Kearney (they misspelled her name) who is the woman to thank for my interest in women’s history. She got hold of my mind for one solitary semester and transformed my life by sharing her knowledge. I am just carrying on her good works. Thank you so much for your support and especially your interest. I do so believe that this particular vehicle for change (women’s history, especially in the schools) has the potential to hugely impact the culture, and in a pretty agreeable way. Who can push back against something as benign as women’s history, after all?
Congrats, Anna Belle! You’ve inspired me so much since I’ve gotten to know you at your blog and at New. You absolutely deserve this recognition!
Brava to Anna Belle. Another gem of a sister, that I met during the 2008 sexism campaign.
I am proud of you, Anna Belle.
Never stop talking and writing!
You’ve come a long way, baby, and it’s great that you’re pulling a cartload of women along behind you.
Just beautiful and inspiring, Anna Belle.
