Nancy Wake started working with the resistance in 1940 when France was invaded by Germany. She started driving an ambulance that her husband, Henri, acquired, to help the French. She became a messenger for the Resistance and helped crashed pilots escape to Spain once she found them. She would bring food to underground groups of refugees (Bayer). She was the Gestapo’s most wanted person “with a five million-franc bounty on her head” (Bayer) since she was amazing at evading capture. She had to flee to England since the Resistance was betrayed and she was in peril (Simkin). In England, Wake joined the SOE or Special Operations Executive and began training to be a
1.A typical virus structure consists of a stand of heredity material, and is surrounded by a coat of protein. The shapes of a virus include helical, polyhedral, spherical, and bacteriophage. The Ebola virus doesn’t look like any of these virus shapes. It’s a long strand. The size of a cell is a lot larger than the size of a virus. The book states, “the lethal airborne dose was fairly small: as small as 500 infectious virus particles.” Therefore, in order for a virus to become airborne, it has to be extremely small. Viruses, are smaller than bacteria and cells combined.
Nancy Morgan Hart (c. 1735–1830) was a rebel of the Revolutionary War noted for her exploits against Loyalists in the northeast Georgia backcountry. She is characterized as a tough, resourceful frontier woman who repeatedly outsmarted Tory soldiers and also killed some outright as she held them out at gunpoint.
For my biography, I chose Nancy heart. Nancy Hart is most known for holding six British soldiers at gunpoint when they rudely asked for her to make them her last turkey they just killed, but this is only heroic act she had against the British. She was determined to rid the area of colonists loyal to the King. Nancy Heart was born in Orange County, North Carolina in 1735. She was a very tall muscular woman with long red hair, blue eyes, and a scarred face. The local Cherokees who lived her area called her "war woman". Nancy was not educated but still ran her house well. It's funny that she was a very good shot considering she was really cross eyed.
In the early twentieth century, woman did not share the right to vote or share any of the privileges of white mn but worse was the status of the African American who were living in the negative climate of the south at the time.

She brought awareness and change to the minds of individuals living in a white male dominant world.
Based on her research and documentation, Mary Beth Norton provides a clear argument that men during this time period carried a strong dependence for women in order to prosper. At one point in the book, Mary Beth Norton brings up an economic crisis when women decided to boycott drinking tea. “Male leaders recognized that they needed women’s cooperation to ensure that Americans would comply with the request to forgo the use of tea and luxury goods until the act was repealed.” (157) This particular protest displays the importance of female consumerism. During this time period, though men often saw women as their inferior, women were an important asset in making clothing. “Furthermore, the manufactories afforded women the opportunity to learn demanding
Mary Ann Shadd Cary was one of the most influential African-American, female leaders during the Antebellum era. As an advocate for equality and integration, Cary contributed an immense amount of effort towards establishing the foundation of black livelihood.

This essay will analyze Cary’s approach to solidifying African American safety and nationalism during the 19th century.

Nursing has changed over time from the instruments that are used, the process that procedures are done, and many medical advances. Nursing back in the Florence Nightingale days did not have specialties like we do today either. Nursing has a whole has progressed significantly since then. I believe that the history of nursing is important because we as nurses need to know where we come from and how this profession became what it is today. Without many prominent nurses such as Florence Nightingale, Mary Breckinridge, Agatha Cobourg Hodgins, and Adda Eldredge nursing would not be what it is today. The American Association for the History of Nursing is an association that nurses can join if they have an interest in the history of

Social expectations have haunted people across the timeline, however, have changed as life has progressed. Today, women specifically may be labeled by their body size or the way they speak, being cast out of society and even being subjected to physical and/or emotional abuse. On the contrary, in the nineteenth century women faced harsh discrimination by white men that objectified them and forced them to submit to their husbands and tend to their every need. Today, women would never face to live in such an animalistic way, however many found themselves fulfilling the role without protest and enjoying the simplicity of such a life back in the 1800s. Edna Pontellier, however, refused to be one of these obedient women, deciding to instead
Edna Pontellier is a woman of great needs. Although she has a husband who cares for her and two children, she is very unhappy. She plays her roles as a mother and wife often, but still keeps doing things unmarried, barren women should do: enjoy the company of other men, ignore her children's cries, dress unladylike for the times. The story is set in the late 1800's, when women were to be in the kitchen preparing a meal for their family, giving birth to more children to help with daily chores, or sitting quietly at home, teaching the children while the husband was at work. Edna Pontellier was a woman not of her time. At only 28, she would have rather been out gallivanting with different men, traveling with them, and painting
