The Battle of Wounded Knee was fought in South Dakota on the date of December 29, 1890 and it was between the tribe of Lakota Sioux and the U.S military, and the battle ended up costing hundreds of lives (IGN). The actual Battle of Wounded Knee was not aided by Columbia or their leader Zachary Hale Comstock (who is the self-proclaimed hero of Wounded Knee) because both of them don’t exist, and there was no other outside help.

Since the 1600’s, politics in the United States has affected education in many ways. When the pilgrims arrived in 1620, their values and ideas shaped society. Families were expected to teach their children literacy, and churches shifted from teaching religious values to teaching education. The Spanish tried to acculturate the Native Americans through schooling. In the 1700’s, people were concerned that families could not successfully teach their children so mass education became the solution. The
As of 2010, women make up 50.8% of the population. According to the Bible, a woman, Eve, was the second human being on planet Earth. Women have been in existence since the beginning of time, just as abundant as men, yet history has shown us just how subordinate females have been treated as early as the first civilizations. Men’s role as hunter compared to a women’s role as gatherer is to many, perhaps, the first divide in the power between men and women, left only to escalate as mankind evolved throughout

The increasing number of radical reformers is an indication of this, along with the Wonder Woman comics directly targeting political and economic issues, being very high milk-pricing, which was consequently leading to malnourished children, textile workers striking, lower pay for women, etc. 2.

Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, is an interesting play written in the early 1900’s concerning the issues of society during that time. Susan Glaspell today is recognized as a particularly feminist writer and her feministic views are evident in the play Trifles. In the play, Mr. Wright is discovered dead in the bedroom and the males of the community attempting to solve who murdered him, or how he died. According to Mrs. Wright, she was sleeping when the death occurred. The males quickly dismiss their wives
Did you know that in 1900, only 19% of women in the U.S. held jobs? By 1998, this number had nearly tripled to 60%! During the early 1900’s women didn’t realize their full potential or their role in society as females. The theme I am going to analyze is the journey that the women in two stories experience as they search for their personal identities.
