It was so sad reading in Mamie Field's article about being African-American teachers along with her sister for African-American children. They got what was barely a building, no space, no blackboard and it was in such a bad location. The part that got to me the most was when she said that the white teachers never cared whether the black children came to school or not no matter waht the reason (poverty) and the fact that since these childrens' parents hadn't gone to school themselves, sometimes they didn't understand the great importance of getting their children educated. -Emely Amaya | It was so sad reading in Mamie Field's article about being African-American teachers along with her sister for African-American children.

| + | Nellie Bly's article about wanting to be a female world travler started off as a woman trying to prove that she can do what a man can but then turns humorous when she's talking about how to her packing lightly meant stuffing everything, even her moisturizing face cream and sadly parting with her evening dress. Just wasn't really helping our case about how we CAN pack light, even if to us packing light means packing a bit more than a man. - Emely Amaya. | ||
Like Kendall, I also liked the excerpt about Frances Willard riding her bike. A quote that stood out to me was, "I also wanted to help women to a wider world, for I hold that the more interests women and men have in common, in thought, in word, and deed, the happier it will be for the home." My interpretation of what Willard was saying is that it would be beneficial for everyone, both men and women, if women were allowed to experience the world outside the home the way men were allowed to. -Marilyn | Like Kendall, I also liked the excerpt about Frances Willard riding her bike.
