WOMEN IN HISTORY
|
Is the history of the world in need of correction?
| |
Some historians, mostly women, argue that insufficient
| |
has been paid to a very important group: women.
| |
These historians history textbooks to be revised
| |
so that they show accurately the role by women.
|
the history books, cavemen most of the food for their
| ||||
families through hunting animals. But the shows that 80% of the diet of
| ||||
prehistoric humans was vegetarian and it was collected by females. ,
| ||||
women's efforts in fighting in wars or leading revolutions have been ignored. Textbooks
| ||||
concentrate on men such as Hannibal or Che Guevara and neglect
| ||||
women such as Théroigne de Méricourt, an opera singer who led the storming of the
| ||||
Bastille in 1789, or Mariya Bochkareva, a Bolshevik who organised a well-trained and
| ||||
successful troop of 2,000 fighting women during the Russian revolution in
| ||||
1917. Women rulers are also forgotten. Between 962 and 1582 there were at least 16
| ||||
women rulers in countries from Italy to Angola.
