Justinian I's wife, Theodora, is remembered and admired for ruling beside him as the Byzantine empress (527-565) who used her political influence to create policies that protected certain rights of women such as laws that prohibited the traffic in young girls and laws regarding divorce that gave more benefits to women. And she promoted the sponsorship and foundation of homes for former prostitutes that sought to reenter society.

Likewise, she also succeeded in ending the persecution against the miaphysites, and helped those most in need through sponsorship of the foundation of many institutions such as orphanages and hospitals.

according to the quotation from booker t. washington's 1895 atlanta compromise speech.

in the great leap from slavery to freedom . . the masses of us are to live by the production of our hands . . we shall prosper . . as we learn to dignify and glorify common labor.

washington believed that  hard work had its own kind of dignity.
