Women have gradually improved in most areas, but some women have taken a few steps back in other areas. According to Dorothy W. Hartman, “Women’s God-given role, it stated, was as wife and mother, keeper of the household, guardian of the moral purity of all who lived therein (Lives of Women).” Dorothy’s statement is still what most women believe in.

One of the great mysteries of the modern world is why and how America became such an economic and democratic success.

was always so wrong. They thought I had selfish motives which I did not. Money never meant a lot to me. I envied people who didn’t have money. I thought they had something that I was missing. I thought they were all like the family on 'Little House on the Prairie'. I wanted what I believed they had. I wanted a close, loving, and supportive family. Then I got my wish and became poor. I got involved with other poor people and found that they are just as greedy as anyone else. They are just as…

Both of these women stressed the topic of gender equality in academic success. In the two essays called: The Lost Boys and The New Gender Gap, McArdle and Conlin wrote about women achieving success in this world—through academic excellence and the forfeit of success by men—through poor academic…

a kid I had found reading and writing to be enjoyable. In my childhood my grandmother would read to me all the time. She would read all kinds of different books; such as Charlotte 's Web, Little House On the Prairie, and Sesame Street. Charlotte 's Web was one of my all time favorite books. While I got a little older I had started a Diary and every day I would write about my good days and my bad days, people, my life, and what I wanted to be in the future. I had also owned a journal entry where…

For this interview, I spoke with my dad’s mom, Julie Johnson, about her high school life. She was a student from 1971-1975. I thought it would be fun to see what it was like to be someone my age over 40 years ago. And it was very interesting! I liked getting to learn more about a different time period from someone who lived through it. We will be discussing your high school life. Where did you go to school, and what was your school like? I went to school at Central Lyon in Rock Rapids. The…
