International Women's Day stories about Ubuntu and the computing longevity meme

The latest initiative by the Ubuntu Women Project is a contest to collect "How I discovered Ubuntu" stories written by women. The winner will be announced on March 8th, International Women's Day. "One of the goals of this initiative is to try and answer the "How can I get $woman to use Ubuntu?" question that we often get by demonstrating that there is no single answer for it. Women get involved and interested in Ubuntu for all kinds of reasons, and without knowing anything about her there is really no way to know what specific spark will get her interested in involvement. (For what it's worth, a much better question is "$woman is interested in $subject and is tied to Windows for $reason but doesn't like it for $another_reason, she currently uses her computer for $thing0 and $thing1, do you have any suggestions as to how I can try and convert her to Ubuntu?")"
