A typewriter ribbon tin
It's remarkable to have lived from the typewriter age through the digital age.
My grandmother, who was an executive secretary, in a time when she was divorced from my grandfather (they remarried later in life), also lived in a time that women had to create their identity and work in a time very different than today's.
I always remember a story she told me about how a teacher didn't believe what she wrote in high school, when in fact she had written it.
She loved books, plays, and adventure; her one trip to Paris was a good one.
So one of her saved typewriter ribbon tins was the subject for my Inktober Day 30 piece.
