One Entity writer shares her favorite moment at the Entity Internship.

This article, right here, about my favorite moment at the ENTITY Mentorship, is my 250th written since May 24, 2016. In twelve weeks I have completed the impossible, and expect to have written 297 by the end of my 13-week internship. This moment, right here, this feeling of “wow, I wrote 250 articles,” is my favorite moment.

When I started this internship, I didn’t know what I would be writing about, but as I have moved through the weeks, I have enjoyed the fact that what I am writing are things that are important to me. I’m a reader, a traveller, and a burgeoning historian.

I have written 90 articles about books and book reviews, all of them ones that have shaped who I am today. I have written countless articles about London, my city, my home, and every article I do write about home, reminds me that one day I will be back there again. It gives me a little glimpse of the future as I look at my past. I am a historian by nature, and I have had the chance to highlight 53 important, and sometimes forgotten, women from history. From Sappho to Simone de Beauvoir, Comtessa de Dia to Charlotte Brontë, these women have forged a path that I now follow. Everything that they did paved the way for women today to live their lives the way they want.

It has truly been an honor to bring these women to life, to honor them in ways that history hasn’t, and for that, I am grateful. Not only that, but I am grateful for the opportunity to pitch this idea and have it come through. As a magazine founded on the belief that women should reach their full potential, it’s important to look at the women of the past and recognize how the helped us get to where we are today. This will be my fondest memory, knowing that I wrote 250 articles, 90 about books, many about London, my city, my home, and 53 about women that I was able to treat kinder than history.
