The classroom was very quiet and cold. Outside the window you could see the rain falling. A very empty and colorless classroom with nothing by a white board on the wall. I asked my classmate name.

She was smiling, remembering her childhood and all the fun adventures she had as a child. The classroom ws filled with different voices. All talking at the same time. Soon after I was about to ask her another question, we paused for the moment to listen to what the professor was saying. The classroom had turn quiet and cold again while the professor explained what were his expectations. Few minutes later we resumed or

Prior to enrolling in my Women Studies course, I would have never thought about half the issues that are so clearly gender specific. It was my newly obtained knowledge and curiosity that led me to a new way of thinking as I learned about one of the most important women in my life.
