Ilion Jones writes that "On the great biographer Ida M. Tarbell's 80th birthday, someone asked her to name the greatest persons she had ever met. She responded, 'The greatest persons I have ever met are those nobody knows anything about - women who have raised great children."

Jones states, "I ask you, who was greater, Thomas A. Edison or his mother? When he was a young lad, his teacher sent him home with a note which said, 'Your child is dumb. We can't do anything for him.'

Mrs. Edison wrote back, 'You do not understand my boy. I will teach him myself'. And she did, with results that are well known. She raised a genius at home.
