35 years ago today, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality

14 women were murdered. Today we remember their names and not his.
Croteau was 23 when she was killed, just a couple of weeks shy of celebrating New Year’s Eve in the hot sun in Cancun, Mexico with her close friends.
When she was just 7 years old, she asked why she could never become pope. She would ultimately follow in her father’s footsteps and study engineering. She loved shrimp omelettes and chocolate cake with whipped cream
It was so near to Edward’s heart that she was buried in her school team ski jacket
Her mother told La Presse that Edward would be proud to see her memory being used to end misogyny.
I didn't know then but I do now -- these many touching details about each woman. I see my daughter in every one of them.
She was 14 years old in 1989. She's a physician now.. I think who they were, why they were killed likely solidified her nascent feminist ethos.
NEVER FORGET. and never forgive sociopaths.
