I found the opening chapter, "Women's history - women who are the World" by Ruth Ashby and Deborah Gore Öhrn be prepared (with an introduction by Gloria Steinhem), 1995, as amended, and of course extremely interesting, maddening. Knowing that the oppression of women to live after so many years of prehistoric egalitarian was staged, and plotted and intrigued launched makes me angry.
Then I started reading the profiles of these "women who changed history," as by the aboveEditors. Although I believe that bringing books such as this are the many women who were in the development of human civilization influential light of inestimable value, I take issue with some of these men and their acts of "size". Every woman has written a profile only by a contemporary woman and over and over again, I find that the author of the section by saying that was a good leader this person as they were a patron of the arts and culture, etc. But later starts In the profile, asWhen Cleopatra, we find that they are lobbying to Marc Antony to her sister's death, to ensure their domination further. Another example is Wu Chao, the first woman in the history of Chinese emporer. She began as a concubine Emporer Kao Tsung and bore him four sons and one daughter. She strangled her baby daughter in her crib to see it on the childless Empress debt, so that they could take their place - which they did. In short, what I find is that these remarkable women, historicalno better than the men, they are surrounded. Ruthless, cruel murders, the calculation are only a few of the adjectives that come to mind. I would prefer to think "Great Historical Women" as a kind, caring, compassionate and wise. Even if these women are managed to achieve great things for their countries and kingdoms, I vehemently disagree with their methods.
In sharp contrast, I found to be well managed Theodora of Constantinople, the orphan at the age of four, butEmpress of the Byzantine Empire. Who's killing them to get there? Well, nobody. She initially worked as a dancer and actress and then as a wool spinner, where together they fell in love and Justinian, the nephew of the Emperor. In order to marry Theodora, Justinian used his influence on the current situation, the law prohibits marriage to change between the classes.
As empress Theodora was too much to raise the status of women. I quote: "Theodora created many important laws protecting the rights of women. These includedthe death penalty for rape, protection of women in divorce, women's right to inherit and to keep her dowry, protection from abusive husbands ... and repay the prohibition against the practice of selling children into slavery parental debt. Theodora also purchased the freedom of the many girls who were sold into prostitution or slavery. The rights of women and their position in society was to be protected has never been observed or. "(S. Suzan Jane, Herstory)
Well, for me is aHistory of size are worth, including as herstory history!
