A Mini-Reader about Women

Time for some quick-read primary sources. 

Have you ever read what Nathaniel Hawthorne had to say about Anne Hutchinson?

What about the transcript of Anne Hutchinson's Trial?  

And "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou.

And then there's Margaret Atwood's Bored. (Thanks to my intern, Michelle, for finding these). 

And let's not forget Virginia Woolf's imaginative piece in A Room of One's Own titled "Shakespeare's Sister" in which she images life for the bard's sister if she shared his level of talent.

And finally, Sojourner Truth's lyric speech, "Ain't I A Woman?" that reveals how class-blind we have been about the gender debate.

Who says we have to save these nuggets for Women's History month?
