I appreciated and agreed with the speakers on the podcast that \u201cthere is no room for women in the Great Man Theory,\u201d and deciding the stories that should be told in history is arbitrary. In history classes since elementary school, we are ingrained with \u201cstories\u201d about [typically male] figures who have made some sort of influence. We have discussed this in class&#8211; who decides <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">how<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> we should tell history? Historians pick out what is \u201cimportant\u201d and who we decide to include in historical accounts, but the voices of women have been silenced unless they epitomize typically \u201cmasculine\u201d leadership traits. For example, in the MLK articles we have read, the great strides made by Coretta Scott King in the Civil Rights Movement have been greatly silenced by historical accounts. The article we read from the professor completely discounted her work and MLK\u2019s disloyalty to her as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">his<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> experience, not her historical legacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was also intrigued by the \u201cHERStory\u201d approach to studying history&#8211; telling history from a feminist point of view&#8211; because <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">so<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> much history is attributed to men. Instead of silencing the women who have made valuable contributions to society and crediting the majority to men, the feminist response is to uphold these women. Recognizing this issue from an intersectional lens allows consumers and students to understand the societal structures preventing women from elevating themselves. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lady Science<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> uses the example of the lack of women in the STEM field today; through gender analysis, we see that women are pushed out of high-paying professionalized fields due to pay inequity, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination, so there are a limited number of women in the field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anna Marston<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I personally loved this podcast from Lady Science; I am a minor in Women\u2019s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, so it was very interesting to draw&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/2019\/09\/17\/lady-science-podcast\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Blog Post 4: Lady Science Podcast<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4302,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4302"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
