Women: The Forgotten “Men” in History
Course | Registration closed 3/14/2025
Many individuals contribute to history but never get their
due. Women and other marginalized groups traditionally
received less ink in history books than the "great men"
of history who were mainly white males. This course
looks at nine women--three each session--whose
achievements are not commonly known. Among the
nine women are a scientist, a winner of the Nobel Peace
Prize, a pioneering pilot, a suffragist, a candidate for the
US presidency, an activist for women's and African-
American's rights, a British anthropologist, and a
pioneering politician from the Western US.
