Women's history month


March is Women's history month. Are Americans poised to "make women's history" and elect the first woman president? Although it is a long way to November, Hillary Clinton still has a chance to capture her party's nomination and run against John McCain for president of the United States.

Whether you like Hillary's politics or not, it definitely would be a big step for a nation that denied even the basic political right to women until after World War I to choose to be led by a woman.

Your task this week is to choose a biography from the linked list. Read it, summarize it, and express your opinion regarding your choice of a famous woman in history. One rule--no repeats. If someone else has already done research on a particular woman, just choose another one.
