Jeanette Aurelia Bullis was born 120 years ago today. This is a special day for those of us who admire and respect her, a day to remember her generosity to her community that continues through her scholarships and grants.
This year we also remember that Nettie Bullis's generosity was a result of her New England frugality and her business acumen. Although she never heard the term that's currently being tossed around, Nettie Bullis began "leaning in" more than a century ago. And she continued in that manner throughout her life.
Nettie Bullis was truly a woman ahead of her time. The results of her actions speak louder than words. We can only again say, "Thank you, Nettie Bullis, for being you."
These two links will give you more detail about Miss Bullis's life and accomplishments:
