As mentioned, these stories include quotes either from the composers themselves or from people around at the time. Great composers appear in many of the stories throughout the book, always supporting the female composers’ work, and their quotes are illuminating. Professor and author Devoney Looser has criticized the concept of herstory for overlooking the contributions that some women made as historians before the twentieth century. [6] Marshall’s research steadily grew to encompass more than 1,000 works, a project she now describes as “one of the privileges of my life”. It implies that White American men historically treated indigenous women better than indigenous men did So there were parts of this book I loved.

Herstory: 50 Women and Girls Who Shook Up the World

I was super excited about this book and thought it was going to be great. It seems like a really good book for kids and she has direct quotes from these women. She has beautiful imagery, the typesete worked really well for the story. But I leave feeling not so sure about it. I mean some of these ladies are badass and awesome; I love Sophie Scholl & Ada Lovelace they are not well known and are pretty amazing. Um Wangari Maathai graduated from my College, she is amazing. But then there were other things I couldn't ignore....some of the 'Believe and lead' ladies were great but...just not the best models. There were a couple things I read that I wasn't sure were okay to glorify? And there was a part she said something about if she was a man this would be celebrated and I thought really? It was weird and I wasn't really jiving with it. My note was: "There were a could times I was a bit like 'eh I don't know about that' and when the author talked about how the women were remembered/depicted/behaved. Almost like she said if they were men this would have been fine but I'm not sure if that's great justification." AND! So I was reading along and I got to Hypatia (p. 72-73) and the picture the author used I had on a book I owned about women in the middle ages and that book said it was Saint Catherine of Sienna, which makes sense with the halo around her head. This made me feel suspicious and uncomfortable. I googled it and it was one of the images that came up but it is called 'St. Catherine disputing with the philosophers of Alexandria' by Masolino de Panicale?? Which seems a bit like shoddy research? Am I being too judgemental? I have no idea. Best-selling author Karen Marshall has been a driving force behind some of the most popular and useful piano education titles of recent years, including the Piano Star and Encore series (both ABRSM), Get Set! Piano method books (Collins Music) and Piano Trainer series ( Faber Music). Elizabeth ruled for forty-five years. Many people believe that she was the greatest monarch ever to rule England. Where there had been violence and poverty, she created peace and prosperity. She sponsored the arts and the exploration of the New World, starting an empire that would last for hundreds of years. And she did all of this on her own, resisting a marriage that might have made it harder for her to rule in her own right. Author Richard Dawkins also described his criticism in The God Delusion, arguing that "the word history has not been influenced by the male pronoun". [13] See also [ edit ] The soft binding uses glued segments, which proved durable during the short review period; the book certainly seems more than fit for purpose. The spine is flexible, and playing a selection of pieces from different parts of the book I found that the score behaved well, staying open and flat on the music stand. Closing Thoughts

History is often told through the exploits of men, because for the most part they held the most powerful positions and made the decisions that changed the world. But that’s not always the case. Elizabeth I is an exception, a queen who helped solidify England’s place as a nation with world-wide impact. Mother Teresa made a difference in a different area, helping to found an organization that has grown to more than 500 centers in more than 100 countries to better the lives of the poor.

Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all”(p. 72). Hypatia Throughout history, girls have often been discussed in terms of what they couldn’t or shouldn’t do. Achterin is een uitgebreide woordenlijst, een overzicht van de vrouwen en een compleet register opgenomen.Hoff Sommers, Christina (1995). "5 (The Feminist Classroom)". Who Stole Feminism?: How Women Have Betrayed Women. United Kingdom: Touchstone Books. p. 97. ISBN 0-684-80156-6. Christina Hoff Sommers has been a vocal critic of the concept of herstory, and presented her argument against the movement in her 1994 book Who Stole Feminism? Sommers defined herstory as an attempt to infuse education with ideology at the expense of knowledge. [12] The " gender feminists", as she called them, were the group of feminists responsible for the movement, which she felt amounted to negationism. She regarded most attempts to make historical studies more female-inclusive as being artificial in nature and an impediment to progress. [8]
