Please tell me if you think?

Well....If you get into higher education (these days), you will actually learn about these women. Men do tend to decide who is the most important and they tend to choose men, and then it's perpetuated. It's a snowball effect at that point, and then because so and so was seen as more important, he became more widely taught, and then became more influential, and therefore became more widely taught.

And on, and on, and on.....

This is changing rapidly though.

I bought Uncle Tom's Cabin a few months ago, and in the preface it talked about how, even though this book was considered the most influential booth of the 19th century, it wasn't read in schools much because it was deemed "womanly and popular" and not "real literature." "Real literature" was Hemingway and other manly men - not common womanly stuff that everyone read. It was very interesting.

Anyway, as I said, that's changing.

Many people are excluded from citing in books in past, not just women. We learned in Canadian History how Francoire was cheated of recognition for the mapping of Canada, and how Gabrielle was not cited for his contributions to the hibernating patterns of beavers.

I just ordered pizza, but it isn't here yet. What's going on?

Oh, and my IQ is 3.14 (Pi).
