LEGENDARY women are so important to us "Women find a place in history", (WT, March 10), but we mustn't forget those "ordinary" ones around us too.

The 80-year-old neighbour still travelling; the single mother doing a top job; the school teacher who first ignited a passion to learn.

Their legacy is the generation below them that they inspire.

Jenny Bush, Elsternwick
