Major Problems: 1-23. When joining a women’s history class, like most early women’s history, I honestly forgot about the average woman. “Notable women” are the ones that most of my history classes have ever discussed. The Notable women, those from politics or Nobel Prize winners, are thoroughly discussed. Combining the many aspects of social history helped develop an entire new field that views the average, working class woman, their private and social lives, as well as those marked as “notable.”
Most surprising is the harsh definition behind the word “women” or “woman.” Using “women” to describe an act or a world of work put a harsh connotation behind it. Through other classes I realized in the Constitution, the word “men” is used. Would we have many of our issues today if they said “men and women?”--Kris
