Too often have people been called antifeminist for non-radical approaches to equality. “Protofeminism” is a term that refers to the anticipation of modern feminist concepts and is hotly debated as irrelevant and separate from true feminism.…

    The term gilding is used to describe the process of covering an object with a thin top layer of gold or another precious metal onto an object that is not precious in of itself. This was the beginning that led to the period of rapid economic growth, but also much social conflict in the final three decades of 19th century.

In addition, if Schmidt, Mrs. Van Bliven’s neighbor at the hotel, had tried to access the hotel room by tampering with the door, there would have been physical evidence- such as a broken door knob- at the crime scene. After consulting the crime scene photographs, it was clear the only tampering with the door could have been done from the inside.…
