I agree, about women being underrepresented in written history. Its great going to school isn't it? My regret is putting it off for so long as we all knew it was pointless, Jesus was coming back any moment!! I did an essay in first year English when we had to read Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Essay topics were assigned, but i was hot on the pursuit of equal rights and got permission to pursue my own... "Sex, Lies and Stereotypes" I called it. My point was how none of the female characters in the novel had names, they were only labeled in relation to their usefullness to the men. Instructor gave me 97%... I was very proud of it as it was probably one of my first post-cult ventures into thinking for myself.
