Virginia Johnson once told me something surprising about her famous partnership with Dr. William Masters, which helped revolutionize America's understanding of human sexuality.

Despite Masters and Johnson's worldwide fame, "We were absolutely the two most secretive people on the face of the Earth," she said. "There's simply no one who knew us well. People have a lot of speculation, but they don't know."

On Thursday, as I read the obituaries about Johnson's death at age 88, I was reminded of Virginia's words. There's a sense of marvel about her life story and how she managed to affect the lives and happiness of so many people, especially independent-minded women like herself who wanted to make their own decisions about sex outside the dictates of men.
 
They really opened up our society (although some might regret that). I didn't realize she didn't have a degree; makes her work even more impressive! Or points out that degrees aren't essential.

She must have been quite a focused woman to get so much done. And we forget so easily about accomplished women; sorry to see her pass.

Thanks for posting.
