In American history classrooms not too long ago one might have been convinced that all the important contributions to human history were made by wealthy white men. In the documentary we watched (partially) earlier this year by Dr Jarred Diamond entitled "Guns, Germs, and Steel" we learned why white Europeans, who as recently as five or six centuries ago were woefully primitive in comparison to their middle-eastern and Asian contemporaries, would become the dominant culture through the age of imperialism and colonization. And, because of western social structure (much of which comes from the Bible) and physiology (men tend to be physically stronger than women), men have usually occupied the positions of leadership in society.
The modern study of history emphasizes the contributions of all parts of society. Indeed, rather than "great individuals" moving history, the opposite was often the case - doors of opportunity were opened to those in leadership because of the collective actions and decisions of ordinary people - regardless of race or gender. In an effort to remind us that history is about everybody, not just the powerful and wealthy few, historians now celebrate the history of previously underreported segments of society by dedicating a month to their story. Just as February was Black History Month, March is Women's History Month.
Your assignment this week is to visit the link http://womenshistorymonth.gov/ which is hosted by the US Library of Congress and follow the link entitled "Exhibits & Collections". There you will choose an article to read and report back to the class. Share what you learn and comment on what knowledge we would lose if we focused solely on the "great men" of history while neglecting everyone else.
Remember to meet all the requirements for this assignment and to post your essay on time for full credit. Have a good week!
Clara Barton was born the youngest of 5 children on December 25, 1827. From a young age, Clara was interested in nursing, starting at the two years when at 11 years old, she nursed her brother David back to health after a severe illness. At the age of 17, Clara had finished school, and moved on to teaching. When the Civil War broke out, Clara felt it was her duty to help the wounded soldiers, but she refused to be paid by the goverment. Now, before the War, women had never been allowed into hospitals, camps, or battlefields, and Clara was often not allowed to help. Eventually, she gained their trust and was allowed to enter camps and hospitals and help the soldiers. It was during this time that she earned the nickname Angel of the Battlefield. When the War ended, Clara Barton helped finded thousands of missing soldiers, whether dead or alive, and notify their families. She went to Europe in 1869 where she learned about the Red Cross, and even watched them in action during the Franco-Prussian War. Coming back to America, she helped to found the American Red Cross, of which she was president for 22 years. Clara fought for women's rights, and even earned several medals, including the Iron Cross, the Cross of Imperial Russia, and the International Red Cross Medal. In 1904, her final act, she founded the National First Aid Society. On APril 12, 1912, Clara Barton died in her home of complications to a cold.
ReplyDeleteIf times had stayed the same and only men were allowed to contribute to history, then America would not have the American Red Cross, which has helped many many people over the years. Focusing solely on the Civil War, many soldier's families may never have known for sure what had happened to their family membors, if not for Clara Barton. If history neglected everyone except white men, then many important things, such as the American Red Cross and women helping in nursing, probably would never have been introduced and accepted. So with that said, thank God that times changed and people like Clara Barton were allowed to step up and accomplish great things!

I will write about Margaret Mead (1901-1978) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who was an anthropologist, writer and speaker in the mass media throughout the 1960's and 1970's.
ReplyDeleteShe graduated from Barnard College and received her doctorate from Columbia University, She joined the American museum of as assistant director and she came serving as director of ethnology.During second world war, she served as executive secretary of the committee eating National Research Council.Also she worked as an assistant professor at Columbia University since 1954.
She was married tree times and she had an anthropologist daughter, She died at 76 years old in New York.
I won't talk only about Margaret Mead, I would like to talk about every single woman in the world.
For me personally, nothing is more important than respect the women for obvious reasons:
1.Their great contributions to world history(and every subject), in all the countries there is more than one woman who has been important to the country which she is from.
2.a woman gave us the gift of life and without that we wouldn't be here maybe without them the human race would be gone.
I don't believe there is something more important than the women, I know that in some cultures or countries the woman is nothing more than an object or an animal but where I am from the woman is even more important than us (man) and since I was kid my family teached me that i have to respect, never hit or even yell a woman and today that still in my mind and i try to do the best when I'm near a woman (sometimes).
I just thank God because we have women

Daniel,
ReplyDeleteGood essay! I like how you mentioned how in Mexico women are treated with respect, while in other countries they're nothing more then packmules. I also like you're very last sentance "Also I don't think that the man is the only who can work in heavy jobs or business jobs, I do think both are the same and both can do the same things." And I agree 100% with that! Now if only others would also believe the same thing. Good essay!
First off, Daniel i loveee your essay! We need to send this to Camden lol it was a very nice essay. And woman ARE important to all you sexists out there. And Daniel's humility and essay proves that.
ReplyDelete"He looked up at the broad yellow moon and thought that she looked at him." The innocence and purity of a child is potrade in twelve different pieces of illustration known as “The Water Babies”. “The Water Babies” were illustrated by a female artist named Jessie Willcox Smith. She not only drew these pictures for simple artistic flattery, but drew these subtle breathtaking pictures for a children’s book. (Mentioned earlier, the book was named “The Water Babies”.) Over 400 pictures drawn by Jessie Willcox Smith were submerged within these twelve books. After Jessie Smith’s death in 1935, it was her will that these were passed down to the Cabinet of American Illustration. “The Water Babies” were first published the year of Jessie Smith’s birth. It was when she was studying to be a kindergarten teacher that she fell in love with art and discovered the hidden talent that had eluded her. In 1894 Smith started taking art classes under Howard Pyle, and by 1900 was known as one of the most influential graphic artists.
ReplyDeleteIf we just focus on the “great men” of society is there no means for becoming better? Is there no hope to achieve because we have this mind set of what greatness already is? And this greatness has already befallen upon someone far better than you and stronger? We should never focus on the “great men” of society, were all destined to be great, but it’s the capacity and the glory that should not come from within us and not to us. We are a people called to greatness, but it’s the Lord’s sole desire that we let Him shine through and all the glory goes to Him. We would lose all knowledge and all wisdom if we just focused on Hollywood’s great men, and the NFL’s.. even unto other things. We can learn from the broken and the lowly. The lowliest place is, I believe, the place where we find true wisdom and knowledge.
Woman are important, I didn’t say much about this so I guess I had so say a few words. Woman are emotional, yes. But we were wonderfully made like that. And I see it as an advantage as the males have different advantages then we do. We are all equal, woman might not have physical strength but what men do not know is that we have this thing inside of us that can feel and that can see things in people that men could never see. Were strong, even unto things that men do not think we have. We might e smaller, and fragile, but that’s why God made men to be strong and were made with this hunger to honor the woman. Men have this inclination to feel appreciated for the honor that we receive from them. And not reject it. Women, that why men think that they could over power us, because they have this calling upon themselves to lift us up. But sometimes that gets distorted and we take things badly.
(Sorry I went on a rant.)
Jerome Geils-Lindemann,
ReplyDeletethis week I'm going to talk about Elizabeth Keckly. she was a very considerable woman.
She was born in 1818 and grew up into slavery south of the major market center of Petersburg, Virginia
She learned crafting, sweing from her mom. Her mom was a perfect seamstress woman, which had to work
for the Burwell family as a slave. After six years since the Burwell family moved to Hillsborough, North Carolina, in 1832, Elizabeth
started at a girls school. After full 30 years of hard working Keckly got enough money to buy herself and her son out of slavery.
She moved to Washington Dc and got the sole proprietor of one of the most exclusive dressmaking shops in the city.
We shouldn't just focus on the “great men” of society, because girls have also great skills and their are very important for the world.
In my country where I come from ( Germany), most at the time the man is respectful to the womans, but sure their are also exceptions
in families where the men is very disrespectful. I think it is definitely wrong and nobody should support that.
I know many countries or cultures the womans are nothing more than an object or an animal.
I think should have the same chance to get a job where they pay the same, because I believe their have the same Abilities...
For my report i have chosen to write about Hannah Arendt. She wrote a group of papers that are called the Hannah Ardent Papers. These papers are one of the principal sources for the study of modern intellectual life, they constitute a large and diverse collection reflecting a complex career. They consist of over 25,000 items and around 75,000 digital images. These papers that she wrote are kept in the Manuscript division at the library of congress. To me, it sounds like she was a very influential, very intelligent, and very important person in history. I do not even know how you would study a thing like modern intellectual life, she was extremely smart it seems like to me. and her papers are kept in the library of congress and is one of the main principal sources, so i guess you could say she figured out something no guy had ever been able to do before, so she is showing all the guys how she did it. I we focused solely on the great men of history, we would be neglecting great feats of women intellects such as Hannah Arendt, which would be a great injustice. So i think it is very wrong to forget about women events in history.
ReplyDeleteThis weeks homework project is a very interesting one. I think that it is cool how in order to not give a one sided view of history we have things like Black History Month and Women’s History Month. I chose to do my report on military nurses. I chose this because my mom was a nurse in the Air Force. This section was broken into several different stories so I am going to share the ones that I found most interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe first one that came up was the story of Frances M. Liberty. She has the incredible distinction of having been in active duty during World War II, Vietnam, and Korea. In her interview she talks about how she has seen many changes happen in the treatment of nurses in the armed services. She is a truly great woman.
The second story that I am going to share is that of Carolyn Hisako Tanaka. As a young girl her family was put into an internment camp after Pearl Harbor. In the 60’s she was an emergency room nurse and decided that she was needed over in Vietnam. This is a fantastic example of someone seeing a need and filling it. I am very thankful that people like her are on this earth because they are the ones who allow others to go on and do things that make them famous.
Now on to the second part of the question. What would we lose if we only focused on the “Great Men” of history. I think that we would mainly lose something that makes us realize that it is normal people doing great things who make history not just people who were born into a position to great things.
I feel the need to comment on Daniel's post and let all the ladies out there know that he is single.
ReplyDeleteVera Maria Rosenberg was born on June 16, 1908 in Bucharest, Romania. Her Jewish family emigrated to England in 1933.After living in England for several years Vera moved to France to finish her schooling.At this point she adopted her South African mothers maiden name Atkins, as her own.
ReplyDeleteVera was very concern about Hitlers rise to power when many government officials were either ignoring or willfully appeasing Hitler. Vera saw the danger and needed to gather as much info that was possible. She was only twenty three when she started running countless
espionage missions.
When war was declared in 1939 Vera's fierce intellect and her ability to speak several languages quickly propelled her into leadership in the S.O.E. (British Intelligence).
It was Vera that inspired Ian Flemming's James Bond character, Miss Moneypenny. Vera recruited and trained nearly 500 secret agents to parachute into Nazi-occupied France. She would send information to them in code to let them know what was happening in their family. After the war, she tracked down the fates of 117 missing agents and brought their murderers to war-crime trials.
Vera Atkins died at age 92 in a nursing home in Hastings, England. The work that made Hitlers down fall came from both men and women. Vera's part that she played was defining in the courage that she constantly displayed to agents. And the mothering and nurturing she showed that only a women could make happen.

Charity,
ReplyDeleteI really like your essay, especially your
rant! I agree with your rant 100%!!! Also, on the comment you left Daniel, yes, Camden should read his essay!!!! haha Anyways, good essay!! I definatly agree when you talked about men being physically strong, but women being mentally strong. Though, if ya think bout it, it really just comes down to the person. I know women who are physically strong and mentally weak, and I know men physically weak and mentally strong. Either way, people just need to suck it up and quit being sextist cause gender means nothing. Good essay!
Im going to talk a little about about Dolley Payne Madison. Mrs. Madison was born on May 20, 1768 in North Carolina. She was married to James Madison who became President. She was a quaker. She died in Washington, D.C. In the War of 1812, the British set the White house on fire and Mrs. Madison saved many of the houses extraordinary heirlooms. One of the many interesting facts about this woman is that she was formerly married to a man named John Todd. Another fact about her/ her family that I find very interesting is that her mother moved in with her sister Lucy who was married to a man named George Steptoe Washington and was actually a nephew of George Washington.
ReplyDeleteWell, as I said, Dolley had married John Todd but in 1793 in Philadelphia a case of yellow fever broke out. Sadly, Dolleys husband and son William Temple died from this disease. That would leave Dolley Todd as a widow and only at age 25, im sure that was heartbreaking. Now, as for how James and Dolley got acquainted its kinda sweet. In 1794, James Madison told his friend Aaron Burr that he wanted to meet Dolley Todd so Aaron introduced them. James was 43 and a bachelor. Now to me thats kinda strange that there was 17 years difference in their ages but I realize that back in those days it was quite normal. James and Dolleys acquaintance quickly turned into a relationship and in that same year in August they were engaged. Yes, they got married and lived in Philadelphia for three years. Dolley Married a very successful man and im sure she contibuted more than we could know.
If we only focused on the important men in the world while paying no attention to the women, we would miss out on so much. Women deserve credit too, looking back at women throughout history we can find many strong hearted people who contributed much to our world!!
Located in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress lies the Hannah Arendt papers. Hannah Arendt was born on October 14, 1906 in Hanover Germany. She grew up in a household of secular Jews.
ReplyDeleteHannah is known to be a very influential, inspiring German Jewish political theorist. Her main thought she fought for was “ men, not Man, live on the earth and inhabit the world.” Other works by Arednt include the power of nature, and subjects of politics, authority, and totalitarianism. Totalitarianism is where a single person virtually has no authority, and the state wields all control of the people, for example, a dictatorship. Recently we have all heard the people controlled by dictators in the Middle East, and it kind of sounds like they don’t like the government making all their decisions. With out the Hannah Arednt papers, a combination of 2,500 articles, lectures, speeches, manuscripts, notes, and printed material that dealt with the issue on hand, I believe that the governments would work totally, and secondly I believe that might be more dictatorships in the world today because we wouldn’t fully understand what a dictatorship was. Personally I don’t think men are better than men because sometimes a woman can pick up something about someone or something that a man would just look over, in this case dictators
Today I’m going to talk about Therese Bonney. Before the outbreak of World War II she worked as a photographer in Paris, and was specifically interested in the cultural exchange between France and the US. During the war she decided to move to the countryside, and was therefore able to use photography to show the horror of war. The pictures were printed in newspapers and magazines. Later, Bonney also published two photo books, and in 1948 made a movie about children during the time of war. The movie was very successful and won an Academy Award. Also, Therese Bonney later became the heroine of a comic book about war called “Photofighter.”
ReplyDeleteWhat knowledge we would lose if we focused solely on the "great men" of history while neglecting everyone else?
Frankly, we would lose a lot of knowledge. The history of the common people is directly related to the history of great men. Yes, we often make the mistake and only focus on the rulers of a specific time of history and learn about how they changed the world. But all those great men could have never made it without the help of the commoners. Look at the French Revolution for instance. It was the common people like the peasants who were unhappy with the government. So they revolted, and by doing that gave Napoleon the chance to become the emperor of Europe. Together the people had even more power than the king or other leaders, because they were the majority.
Personally, I think that it is good for us to have women’s history month. Sometimes people have to be reminded of what women have contributed to history, and often it was as great as what the men did. Women were suppressed by men for hundreds of years, and were not being given the same rights until only the last century. They were never treated equally, although women were as important to society. Only men were regarded as citizens. I’m so glad I live in a society and country where women and men are treated equally. And as you can see by the example of Therese Bonney, women can accomplish a lot when they are given the opportunity.
The woman pioneers of the Northern Great Plains served as the rural farm families. It was part of their job to take care of family and hearth, to plow the land, to raise poultry, to milk cows, and to sell garden produced products to supplement an often really limited farm income. Others, with the passage of the Homestead Act, laid claim to and cultivated their own land. Others went even further and established and ran successful business. This shows that the women even in the past tried to do their “own thing”, sure it was hard but once they were able to, woman tried to work and tried to be independent in the things they did. For me now it is very hard to imagine not to have all the rights I would now describe as normal. We today have also a good opportunity to get a good paid job. In the past that was not normal. But even today we can see in certain jobs that we still do not get paid the same as a men in the exact same business job. I don’t know why that is still today the fact, but I guess it is something that was in the past and was just never changed till today. Today, we have the same voting rights, and we are for sure able to get a good education (in our society), but I am also sure that there are still countries in which women get treated a lot different than men.
ReplyDeleteDaniel'Gonzalez,
ReplyDeleteWell Daniel you just love women dont you? haha :) I love what you mentioned about respect because in our day it seems people keep losing that respect toward others.
And I agree, without women there would be no human race, we would all just fade away. I just love how you said "Nothing is more important than to respect woman." If only every guy was that way. But, I do believe that man and woman have diffevert roles and were not all meant for the same job/task. Men have more strength while us woman are sadly weaker lol and more fragile. Well I loved your report Daniel!! Good Job.
Eileen,
ReplyDeleteGood job on your report Eileen. I enjoyed reading it and about the last sentence, sadly thats true. Im sure that you're right and in other countries woman do get treated a lot different. I think that no matter what gender all humans should be treated with equal rights and respect!!
Women’s rights is a topic that is still highly debated today. How women are treated is brought under examination continuously. Historically, women have made far strides in their progression in society. The topic I researched was the historical impact women have had in music. Today, women have a prominent position in the music industry. They are the singers, musicians, dancers, and artists. Certain instruments have been and are now seen as a man’s instrument. Today, when women are seen playing drums, guitar, or bass, they are looked at differently, but now we are seeing these bridges crossed and the discrimination lessened. Some women in other countries make similar instruments (as the men’s instruments) so they can play them. As for what we would miss in history if the woman’s impact in music, women have contributed so much. When women play music, they add a creativity and personalization to their music. If women were not included in this history, we would miss the great compositions, vocal talent, and phenomenal artistry we have seen in the female involvement of the music world. The impact of women is not only visible in the music industry, but politically, socially, and professionally. They bring their own talents and characteristics to every field.
ReplyDeleteDaniel, your essay was very good!! More people should have your same viewpoint. Guffey brought up a good point in class about how women want to be treated equally, but we also want to have the high level of respect and treatment. I believe that treating women correctly is not discrimination or unequal treatment, but mere respect and honor that is correctly in place. Women should be viewed for what and who they are.
ReplyDeleteEileen, your essay was very good also. It brings out some very important points. We look at the women of the past as weak and suppressed, but they actually were very strong. Even though they were not involved in the work force or fighting in the military, they were the strong hold in the home. Yes, the man was considered the head of the family, but women kept that strong driving force in the family. They were the teachers, the cleaners, the supporters, the nurses, they were the hard workers.
This week i have chosen to write about a lady by the name of Elizabeth Shippen Green. Elizabeth was born in Philadelphia she shared her love of art with her father whom had also studied art back in his day. She went to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art from 1889 to 1893. Elizabeth published her first drawing at the age of 18. In this particular era men dominated this field of work and in my opinion Ms. Green excelled and rose above the odds of her time.
ReplyDeleteIn 1911 Elizabeth married a man by the name of Huger Elliott a professor of architecture... due to his job the couple moved around a lot but despite of it all she didn't allow the moves to effect her art and she remained a profound author. And i want to throw in there the fact that not only was this woman a phenomenal artist she also caused a huge impact on the "Golden Age"... just thought I'd throw that out there.
Now in my opinion i believe that if we were only to focus on the men of this era we would miss out on the elegant, serenity that comes along with women. It's just a different touch we put on everything we do.
Daniel,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your essay was probably the best i have ever read. It was super sweet and in truly wish more guys had your mind set on this particular topic. And like a few others said its not a matter of women wanting so so much all we want is some respect. And thanks to you it feels like we are getting that for once.
Emily C.
I found your essay very interesting. I am thrilled to see the uprising of women in the musical industry and i enjoy the reactions of people when they watch a female drummer or bass player walk up on stage. I for one love it i have much respect for these ladies. But anyways great job on your essay :)
Alexandria Grace,
Excellent job on your essay. I had heard of Dolley Madison many times throughout school... but usually only briefly. So it really interested me to read your essay. I think her little love story is quite touching and it's proof that love never fails. So anyways amazing job :)

"It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself." "Justice cannot be for one side alone, but it must be for both." -Eleanor Roosevelt.
ReplyDeleteEleanor Roosevelt did not only quote this but she really did live it out and believe this. She wasn't willing to sit back and watch others do something. She was always willing to jump in and help out and fight for the justice of ALL.
Eleanor Roosevelt was born October 11, 1884 in New York City. She went to school in London England. She was the 6th cousin and wife of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Eleanor was not simply just the first lady. She contributed in so many more ways than that. Before her husband became the thirty-second president of the United States she was an active part of the women's suffrage movement and volunteered with the Red Cross. When her husband became crippled with polio she provided him with never ending care and encouragement. Once FDR became president she did not quit assisting him and the people in general. She fought for the equal rights of black Americans. She also ecouraged people to voluteer for the American effort in World War II and visited troops throughout the world. Also when FDR was sick she became a great influence speaking for him, giving her advice, informing him, and relaying his decsisions. After FDR died she continued to fight for justice and equality for all.
Eleanor was truely a great woman and to exclude her from history would be a huge loss. She brought so much to not only this nation and the people in it but to other nations as well. To only focus on the "Great Men" of history would cause us to lose respect and even the knowledge of a lot of brains behind the scenes. The people on stage aren't the only ones making the show happen.

Women’s role in WWII was greater than most people realize. It is widely known that women would often take the place of the men in their factory jobs as they left to go to war, but it is less known that women ALSO went to war.
ReplyDeleteMarie Brand Voltzke served from 1939-1946 in the Navy Women’s Reserves under Naval Communication Intelligence. She left all of her family and friends in West Virginia in 1943 after she joined WAVES (Navy Women’s Reserve) and moved to the US Naval Base in Washington D.C. Her fellow female soldiers (four THOUSAND of them) worked almost constantly, and were always ready to defend their country if they were needed.
Marie Voltzke was just one of many women who responded to the call of their duty just as the men did. Even the women who didn’t join the military sacrificed a great deal. Many had to work more than one job to support their family AND they had to raise the children by themselves. On top of that, most citizens at home were rationing their food to provide more for the soldiers overseas. The victory in WWII was a team effort- fought by soldiers and by everyone back home supporting them.
If we focus solely on those select few who rise above the others, we will lose a great deal of the truth and what went on behind the scenes. With every great person there is someone in the background helping them on their journey. That “someone” may never receive recognition, but their actions are captured in the future of the world forever- whether the general population knows about it or not.
Daniel Your essay was awesome :)... Women do wanted to be treated with respect. They want to be acknowledged. I think that more cultures around the world should have the same respect for women as your culture. Treating a woman with resect and helping them out isn't unequal and I think its kind of crazy when women consider that act as a man treating them inferiorly. I don't think that women can or even should do all jobs that men do. They are certainly more capable than they were viewed as back in the old days but they also need the support of a man. Thats what God made us for, we do what the man can't and the men can do what the women can't. There isn't such a thing as the inferior sex just men can't do things women can and vice-versa.
ReplyDeleteAlex you did a good job on your essay. Dolly Madison was a great contributer to the history of the U.S. And her love story is sweet. You're right we would miss so much if we didn't acknowledge some of what women do too. Even if they weren't president many of the first ladies brought so much to their husbands presidency and helped more behind the scenes than we will ever know and that goes for wmoen of all standings.
ReplyDeleteDaniel, your essay was splendid! I think Ms. Margaret Mead seemed like a very fascinating lady. Anthropology is thought of as a very modern study, but the fact that she studied it 50 years ago is very interesting. It is also very nice that her daughter followed in her mother’s footsteps and became an anthropologist, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I’ll have to comment on your thoughts about women. Unfortunately, the majority of our population in America does not share in your opinions on women; or if they do, they sure don’t act like it. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve met a few men who obviously think of women as equals, but there are still too many people out there who continue to degrade women and won’t respect them the way they should be. I’m hoping in the future there will be more men like you, Daniel.
I am really glad we get to talk about women for this essay. Women have always been there since the beginning and always considered less important than the man in pretty much every society. Women have an actually very important role in our society. They raise the generation that is going to follow and many other things. God also says that every human being is equal. I think it is time for the world to really see what it means for all people to be equal.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to talk about the women in the wars or times of war in the world. I got on one of the articles that talks about this subject, and this sentence came up: “We were let down—we really thought we were going to fight the enemy.” –Walter Morris
As you know, most of the women were left behind to take care of the house, the children that weren’t old enough to fight. They needed to do the work the mans use to do since nobody was there to do it. We usually talk about all the mans that died at war but we don’t think about all the things the women had to endure while their husband weren’t there. In one of the articles, the introduction says: “The Second World War created a homefront culture unlike any other in this nation’s history. There were soldiers, trained and primed to confront the enemy, who never got the call to go overseas. And there were homefront workers and wives who made their own sacrifices to winning the war.”
March is a women’s history month .The topic of women’s history was largely missing from general public consciousness. To address this situation, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women initiated a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978 and chose the week of March 8 to coincide with International Women’s Day. There are also many stories of women’s achievements are integral to the fabric of our history. Learning about women’s tenacity, courage, and creativity throughout the centuries is a tremendous source of strength .In the past women always had treated in many different kinds from men and had set to be in the lower level of most societies .I heard stories about this in the past that women always stayed home ,do chores ,clean everything ,babysitting, cook and everything but work and study .Most of the women in the past didn’t have a chance to study so they knew nothing about education .Now time changed so it makes women and men are in the same level ,have been treated in the same way .The leaders of some countries are women so I think that could show that women are not in the lower past of society anymore and also lots of great popular people are women .I’m going to talk a little bit about Hannah Arendt (October 14, 1906 – December 4, 1975) She was an influential German Jewish political theorist. She has often been described as a philosopher .She refused that label on the grounds that philosophy is concerned with "man in the singular." She described herself instead as a political theorist because her work centers on the fact that "men, not Man, live on the earth and inhabit the world". Arendt's work deals with the nature of power, and the subjects of politics, authority, and totalitarianism.
ReplyDeleteFor this week’s essay, I decided to write about Dolly Parton. She was in the list of articles and I think it would be fun to talk about her. We need more fun in our history homework anyway. Dolly was born on January 19, 1946, in Locust Ride, Tennessee. She was one of twelve children, raised in poverty, and surrounded by music which made quite a story to tell once she became famous. Her career began when she was only ten years old and she has been performing for fifty years. She received many rewards for her variety of music. Dolly had a willingness to speak her mind that made her stand out among other performers. Her roots all went back to her little country home and she had quite an impact on the music industry even excelling as a business woman by opening her own amusement park, Dollywood.
ReplyDeleteDolly Parton has always made me laugh. I remember there was a picture of her on our wall in a hotel at Gatlinburg and it would always make me smile a little. She’s just a funny person! From what I read in this article, she isn’t afraid to speak their mind and I can respect anyone with this quality.
I think the ability and the means to stand up for some things is admirable in a person. If we were to go through history and ignore all of the changes women brought about, we would miss a good deal. Think of Bible times. What if we just cut Esther or Ruth out of the Bible? Both of these women have an excellent testimony and it would be crazy to ignore it. Why should we ignore the women who are making a difference today?

Wow, this seems to have struck a nerve. Here's Jordan's essay:
ReplyDeleteI decided to do my report on Judith Leyster. She lived from 1609-1660.
Judith Leyster was a Dutch painter born in Haarlem on July 28, 1609. During this time period there were very few professional painters in Europe. However this did not stop her. She made her name known by joining the Haarlem painters’ Guild of Saint Luke in 1633. Here she set up her own workshop and took on students. Leyster was known for her portraits, and most likely learned her style of painting from Frans Hals. Upon her death her Name was mostly forgotten, but in the 1890’s she has been rediscovered.
Women. What can I say? You cant live with them, and you cant live without them. I don’t see why some men would be sexist. Most likely whatever these men do a woman somewhere can do much more better then he can. Ive grown up being taught to respect and treat women right, and I will continue to do so. Even if the bible says that the wife should submit to the husband,. That doesn’t mean that we can just tell our wife to go get us a sandwich whenever we want one I(Camden). Us as men are to respect our women and to love them like Christ loved the church.
Daniel,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your essay. I wish more men would be taught to respect women, and not to hit or yell at them. Of course it is easy for men to just say that and in the end they do it anyways. So, I truly hope that you mean what you said. Also, I liked when you said that women are important because without them we wouldn’t be here. That is reason enough to honor women, and show appreciation to our mothers.
Abbie,
I liked when you talked about Esther or Ruth in the Bible and how they made a difference in this world. I agree with you that we shouldn’t ignore neither women in the Bible nor today’s women, because they all had or have the ability to make a difference.
Jordan,
Good job on your essay. I liked when you said that husbands just can’t command their wives and take advantage of them. I wish more men would listen to what the Bible says and love their wife like Christ loved the church.
Daniel, you had a really good essay this week. I really liked the way that you grew up with being respectful to women. I liked that you said that this is important for you and your family. And that is good. I enjoyed reading the essay. Good job. Keep up your good work!
ReplyDeleteGuffey, I liked reading your essay, and it defiantly showed that women can do the same job than men. That woman had to work in two jobs and also had to raise their children shows us that they had to have a certain strength. Women can take “man” jobs and they can be good at them. Like you said, Marie Brand Voltzke served in the Navy and was really good at her job. Keep up your good work. Good job this week!!
Guffey: Thanks for sharing on woman's rolls in W.W.II. Many women were used in communication in intelligence. In England they were called WREN'S. I agree victory in W.W.II was a team effort. Sometimes in history the people that do the most and lead people are the quietest ones. The rationing coupons and the victory gardens were ways entire households could participate in the war. People got involved in Bond drives and war bonds to raise enough money for the government to buy planes and tanks and ammunition.
ReplyDeleteStella: Thanks for sharing about Terese Bonney. People don't realize the female photographers and news journalist that were on the field in Europe during W.W.II. My mother has a book on female war correspondents. She said most women had to "buck the system" before they could do the job their editor had sent them to do. They jumped out of planes, ate G.I. rations, slept in Fox holes. When following the G.I.'s into Germany it was the female as well as the men journalist that told the stories of the horror of war.
I chose to so my essay on Clara Barton. Clara Barton was born December 25, 1821 in Boston Massachusetts. Clara was the youngest in her middle-class family of five children. Clara was taught at home and starting teaching in schools at age 15. In 1854 she resigned from her teaching post and moved to Washington DC, were she took a job at the at the US patent office. She served from 1854 to 1857, and then again in 1860. From 1866 to 1868 she spent most of her time giving speeches about her war experiences. While visiting Switzerland she founded the International Committee of the Red Cross. From 1876 to 1886 she spent a great portion of her time trying to establish a national Red Cross. From 1882-1907 she also wrote three books entitled History of the Red Cross, The Red Cross in Peace and War, and The Story of My Childhood. Clara Barton died in Maryland on April 12, 1912 at the age of 91. She was buried in North Oxford, Massachusetts.
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that we have woman's history month, because we often overlook there contributions to society. If we only focused on the "Great Men" of society then we probably wouldn't have excepted things such as the Red Cross.

ReplyDeleteGreat Essay! Your essay was awesome, and I really enjoyed reading it.
Private Elijah,
Awesome essay, your essay was very good and informative. Clara Barton really a big impact in woman's history, she spent so much time of her life trying to establish a National Red Cross. She had a very important role in our history.
Dear Daniel'Gonzalez,
ReplyDeleteI really like your essay and enjoy to read it. I got a big smile after the half of your essay as
you started to talk about your opinion and I definitely agree with it.
What you said that you have to have respect, never hit or even yell a woman. today that still in my
mind and i try to do the best when I'm near a woman. I think you have a good attitude about woman if you were honest.:)
Good essay.
Dear Eileen,
I really like and enjoy to read your essay. I think it is good point to put your
opinion in the essay.
I definitly agree with your last sentance, which talks about different treatments in other countries.
Good job!
This week i chose to write my report on Jeanne A. Urbin Markle. Jeanne Urbin Markle was born in Longsprt IN. Jeanna Urbin Markle was a army nurse corps in the Vietnam War from 1961-1975. Her rank was First Lieutenant. The main goal for her in her family was to be a nurse in Indiana. Jeanna Urbin Markle joined the army in 1965. She eventually married a man who was about to ship out to the army and the army needed nurses so Jeanne Urbin Markle decided to go and be a nurse. I think if focused only on men and the jobs they do we would loose alot of knowledge. Women play a big roll in society they do the jobs that mainly men feel are petty or not that hard and they end up being stuck with some of the worst jobs/hardest. Like nurseing alot of the nurses do what the doctors dont feel like doing or have no time for and like taken care of children thats very hard while at the same time they have to keep everything else in ordeer and done so the men will know what to do and how to function alot of the times. Women also can multi task better then some men (no offense). Either way women are a very important part.
ReplyDeleteDaniel i loved your essay it was very very nice it had alot of good guidlines in it that you use for your day to day life. I really agree with everything you said and you are one on the very few men who realize how important women can and are be besides just past the cooking or cleaning (camden). Your essay was awsome! All in all i really really liked it good job daniel!
ReplyDeleteJordan i really really liked your essay you made alot of really good points and im sure camden agrees with none of them! But i however im pretty all the girls agree with what you were saying. It was very respectful and spoke the truth.I really like how you said some women can do a job that a man is doing much better i for one agree with that compleatly! All in all your essay was really good!
ReplyDeleteBilly the Squid, you’re totally right about how if we didn’t have woman’s history month then things wouldn’t be like they are today. Clara was an amazing woman, and I loved your essay. It was veryyy good!
ReplyDeleteMegan, Amen sister! Women are veryyy important, and we are very good multi taskers. Very good essay lovely.
Elizabeth, in response to your response. My rant was very thorough wasn’t it?? lol

Stella,
ReplyDeleteI really like your essay Stella (: I enjoy reading it a lot .You gave us many interesting and important informations about Terese Bonney . And I also agreed with you that we often only just focus on the rulers of a specific time of history and learn about how they changed the world but all those great men could have never made it without the help of the commoners . Great essay !
Guffey ,
You did a great job on your essay .Its really interested that you talked about Marie Voltzke because she could make us see that women could do that same things that men could even some women had more responsibility about taking care of the children .And Marie Voltzke was in the military so that could make the point .
To emily cox, great job on your essay on the historical impact wemon have had in music. I really liked your essay about it, and enjoyed reading on the topic. I agree with you that sometimes wemon are looked at differently when they are seen doing something that is viewed at as being a ”mans task”. Like for instance Sarah Palin, when she ran for vice president, and that is certainly considered a “mans job” I would say, since there has never ever even been one before. And even Hillary Clinton who ran for president of the united states, and I think she might have been the only woman to get that far in a campaign if not the first, but she ended up backing out of the presidential race. And they shoould be looked at the same as men. But gtreat job on your essay emily cox, I really enjoyed yoour essay.
ReplyDeletegreat job on your essay daniel
ReplyDeleteDaniel, your essay was very sweet. It’s awesome that you have an attitude like that towards women. Respect is always great. We can excuse your grammar because of the sweet words. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteCharity, “The lowliest place is, I believe, the place where we find true wisdom and knowledge.” That was quite an amazing line. I have to say, your essay was fantastic. I completely agree that greatness comes from the Lord and only in a true place of humility can we be even the slightest bit good. All glory should go to the Lord at all times.
Jordan, of course, I really liked your essay. It was very impressive and I’m sure Camden might have agreed with at least a little bit… I think… Anyway, I think you made many great points. In this case, you can be proud of yourself. I also like that the woman you chose to write about was a painter.
Abbie,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely splendid! I agree completely about us needing more fun in our history homework!! Im very glad you did your essay on this Dolly Parton. To tell you the truth I didn’t even know Dollywood was founded by a woman! The ability and the means to stand up for something are things that everyone needs. If we are to not stand up for what we think is right, then what good are we to even believe in those things? And the thing that you said about Ester and Ruth was great. What’s the logic behind learning from them but rejecting the women today? We would all make terrible Vulcans!
Daniel,
Dude I think all the girls love you that much more man. I completely agree with you. Women should never be treated as object or possession. The woman is a very important part of our society and in most cases is much more important than us guys.
For this essay I decided to write about Clara Barton. She grew up in Oxford, Massachusetts on a farm, where as a child she took care of her ill brother getting her first taste of nursing. Clara Barton is known for her humanitarian work, meaning caring, compassionate, and kind. Roads, children, and schools were named after her. She became a teacher, starting New Jersey’s first free public school.
ReplyDeleteWhat made her famous and looked up too? Ms. Barton founded the American Red Cross in 1881. She kept up with the work and continued helping with it until 1904, 23 years. This took care of many disasters as a relief during the Spanish-American war. Taking care of such disasters as Johnstown Flood, the Sea Islands, and South Carolina and Galveston. Over this course of time American Red Cross’ were established all through-out the United States. Also, starting an American Red Cross for first aid, for injured people during the wars. Leading to the National First Aid Association of America, teaching people how to prepare for injuries and to learn to take care of them.
Ms. Barton made many contributions to the United States, making us a better stronger country. Without her we may still not have schools for everyone leaving us less educational than we are now.

Emily Cox,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your essay, mostly because you didn't pick a person to write about, you just wrote your beliefs, and I completley agree with them. Women don't get enough credit, and haven't all through out history, women are still degraded in music today, by men. But, you're right, women have made a huge impact in music, what would we do with out Taylor Swift? :)
Alex,
I really liked your essay, you did a very nice job! I bet it was heart breaking to lose both her son and husband at once. I find it really amazing that she's the woman who saved things from the white house's fire. Nice job.
Since I wasn't here last week I'm making up my missed work:
ReplyDeleteI am writing about the Jewish Parachutists from Palestine.
Between 1943 and 1945 there was a group of Parachutists which consisted of Jewish men and woman from Palestine. Their mission was to land in Germany and organize resistance against the Germans and to help to rescue Allied personnel. The whole group consisted of 250 volunteers and only 110 had training. In the war maybe 32 of these, really parachuted into Europe. 12 of these 32 were caught by Germans and 7 of them were executed. Some also had success, for example three of the parachutists infiltrated Hungary. Five others participated in the Slovak national uprising. There were also six who made it to northern Italy and operated there. There was also a very young girl of 23 years who got executed after the Germans caught her. She was a very talented poet and singer and her songs are still sung in Israel. After the war all of these parachutists were added to a remembrance center in Jerusalem. I think that these men and woman were really big heroes. I mean everybody knew how bad Hitler and the Nazis hated Jewish people and what they do to them. So I think it takes even more courage to be a Jewish volunteer and to enter European countries udner German command.

@Daniel:
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised when I read your essay. But positive. I like what you write and think you are absolutly right. Very good essay. I think especially in the countries with muslims thats a big problem because woman just don't have a lot of rights there. I know from so many girls whose families are muslims and their dads just chose a husband for them and they don't care if the girl loves him or not. Very good essay man! Keep up your work. :)
@Abbie:
ReplyDeleteVery good essay. I never heard about Dolly Parton so I learned a lot about her. I think that she is a very interesting woman and that she has a lot of courage. I like that way you write the essay and I like that you write we need more fun in our history homework anyway. I totally agree with that :) Keep up your good work.
I have decided to do my extremely late essay on Eleanor Roosevelt. She was born on October, 11, 1884 in New York City. Her parents were Elliot Hall Roosevelt and Anna Hall Roosevelt. She was First Lady from 1933 to 1945, during this time she was very succesful, becoming an advocat for civil rights. Even after her husbands death in 1945, she continued to be an international, speaker, activist, auther, and politician for the New Deal coalition. In the 1940's Roosevelt was one of the co-founders of Freedom House, and supported the forming of the United Nations. She chaired the commitee that drafted and approved the Universal Decleration of Human Rights. She was called, "The First Lady of the World", for her achievements. Unfortunately though she helped to start second wave feminism, as we know too much feminism is a dreadful thing(because men should be shown with equal respect). But at any rate, in 1999 she was ranked in the Gallups List of the Most Widely Admireable People of the 20th Century.
ReplyDeletePs-I have no idea what second wave feminism is, I just assume it's overdoing it.
About my citation, I couldn't find anything on Women's History Month, so I used Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteDear Daniel,
I loved your essay. Your right, every woman should be treated like heaven-sent goddesses. But at the same time, my opponion is that women are much favored over men. Though why would you point out there importance to the continuation of our race? Men and women are obviously equally important for reproduction.
To Simon,
Absolutely splendid essay. I find there to be much irony in it. I agree that they were unbelievably brave in what they did and should be honored for keeping still hearts in the most trying of circumstances.
Dolly Rebecca Parton was born on January 19, 1946, in Locust Ridge, Tennessee. Dolly was one of twelve children that lived in a one-room cabin in the Tennessee mountains. Although she was raised in poverty, she was surrounded by music. She even made her own guitar out of an old mandolin and two bass guitar strings in 1953; that making her either 7 or 8 years old!!! Dolly Parton started her amazing career at the age of 10 to eventually become one of the most celebrated and successful country music stars. Parton has absolutely excelled within the various genres she participates in with more than two dozen albums gone gold, platinum or double platinum, eight Grammy Awards, as well as dozens of People's Choice and Country Music Association awards. Dolly has such a dynamic in career as she is known as a country music star with deep roots in the early Nashville country music scene, as an actress in Hollywood films, as a business woman with a theme park to her credit, and as a female giving voice to the experiences of women in the second half of the twentieth century. Dolly's inspiration has been placed in other females country stars from decades ago: Rose Maddox and Molly O'Day of the 1940s, Kitty Wells of the 1950s, and Brenda Lee and Patsy Cline of the 1960s. Dolly Parton is one of the most known female country stars to be, EVER. She's had a tremendous amount of success and has earned it all.
ReplyDeleteI’m writing my essay on the women who broke the musical barriers. We often forget the women have been and still are today discriminated against for more than things like voting and politics. Women were put in this social box and it was understood that they couldn’t do certain things as well as men so they just didn’t try. Women were once not looked upon highly for musical abilities. Just think, if women had never been put down for their musical talents imagine all the great music that could have developed earlier from woman artists. Even today this kind of still goes on. Some women are looked at negatively for singing certain songs or playing certain instruments that are strictly for boys. A group called The Crying Women Singers decided they would preserve the old culture of the American Indians by playing music that went back to their roots. The music involved A xylophone which was viewed as an instrument only men were allowed to play. The women creatively invented a different instrument that mimicked the sound of the xylophone. Women have come a long way since then and will continue to impress the world with what they can achieve.

ReplyDeleteI wanna write about Hannah Arendt today. Hannah Arendt wrote a group of papers which are called the "Hannah Ardent Papers". These papers are one of the principal sources for the study of modern life. They constitute a large and diverse collection reflecting a complex career. They consist of over 25,000 items and around 75,000 digital images. Today. these awesome papers which she wrote are kept in the Manuscript division at the library of congress which is in Washington DC.
To me, it sounds like she was a very influential, very intelligent and a very important person in history. Overall just a great person. I do not even know how you would study a thing like modern intellectual life. I guess she was extremely smart . And because her papers are kept in the library of congress it is one of the main principal sources, so i guess you could say she figured out something no guy had ever been able to do before which is pretty cool. If we focused solely on the great men of history, we would be neglecting great feats of women intellects such as Hannah Arendt, which would be a great injustice.
So i think it is very wrong to forget about women events in history.
Dear Stella,
ReplyDeleteI really like your essay. I enjoy reading it a lot.You gave us many interesting and important informations about Terese Bonney. And I also agree with you that we often only just focus on the rulers of a specific time of history and learn about how they changed the world but all those great men could have never made it without the help of the commoners. Good Job.
Dear Guffey ,
You did a great job on your essay. Its really interested that you talked about Marie Voltzke because she could make us see that women could do that same things that men could even some women had more responsibility about taking care of the children. And Marie Voltzke was in the military so that could make the point .
