intro

My name is Christan and I created this blog for Web design class at Nichols College; I'm a history major, my favorite eras are: ancient Egypt, the Middle Ages, and women's history. I live in Webster with my parents and my three younger sisters. I also have four dogs; I have two shitzus, a mini dachshund and a chichua.  When I am not in school, I like hanging out with my friends and family, watching my favorite anime or just sitting around reading a good book.

The reason I had created this blog was to talk about some of the unsung heroines of women's history; when somone reads about women's history the first person they probably think of is Elizabeth Cady Staton or Susan B. Anthony, but there are other women whom also talked about women's rights, one of these women is Elizabeth Blackwell. Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to have recieved a doctorate; another famous woman to have also gone into the medical field was Emily Barringer; she was the first woman to become an ambulance surgeon. However, there are not women who got into the medical field or even suffragists who wanted became part of women's history, there was also a first lady who also fought for women's rights as well. Abigail Addams, first lady during the presidency of John Adams and mother of John Quincy Adams had written many letters to her husband but there was one letter that she wrote that specifically talked ab ut women's rights. In the letter she had specifically asked her husband he was drafting up the constitution, she wanted to convince him that women should have the right to vote because they citizens too. It was Abigail Adams that should have been included as the woman to have offically gotten the fight for women's right to vote. Other women would continue the fight for women's right to vote, this fight would last until 1920 when the 19th amendment was passed to allow women the right to vote.
