Course: National Osher Online - Women: The Forgotten 'Men' in History (OSH-PXNRC106)
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 whose achievements are not commonly known. Included 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.
