Part 2: Bruriah, the wife or Rebbi Meir

In the Gemara in Brachot, Bruriah teaches her husband Rebbi Meir to see the potential in his wicked neighbors. In another story, Bruriah tells Rebbi Meir about the passing of 2 of their sons. What do they tell us about her?

Bruriah and Rachel were both exceptions to the rule, how do we relate to them?
