My Take
Elizabeth Edwards interests me far more for who she chose to be than for whom she married. A trained attorney from UNC Chapel Hill, she could have remained a footnote to her husband's political career, the senator and vice-presidential nominee. Instead she carved out her own identity as an author and health care activist, writing and speaking through illness and public turmoil until her death in 2010. I'm drawn to people who refuse to borrow someone else's spotlight, and she planted her own flag with unmistakable resolve. Her name endures on its own terms, which is the highest compliment I can offer.
