Women Index Page
Throughout
history, women have always played an active role in society. They have been the spies,
soldiers, and prisoners of war. They also raised money/supplies for armies, and kept
farms and families going so that soldiers would have something to come home to. The
invention of the bicycle (then followed by the automobile) were very liberating --
providing females with the 'vehicle' to begin traveling on their own. Women were
able to move from the sidelines to the frontlines in sports and careers, obtaining
professional success in their own right.
