Story
One of the world's most multicultural cities, 20th-century Cairo was a magnet for the ambitious and talented. During the 1920s and '30s, a vibrant music, theater, film, and cabaret scene flourished, defining what it meant to be a "modern" Egyptian. Women came to dominate the Egyptian entertainment industry - as stars of the stage and screen but also as impresarias, entrepreneurs, owners, and promoters of a new and strikingly modern entertainment industry.

Story
In November 2018, the greatest number of women in American history entered Congress. From Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and "the Squad" to "the Badasses" with national security backgrounds, from the first two Native Americans in Congress to the first two Muslim women, all were swept into office on a wave of grassroots support, diverse in background, age, professional experience, and ideology. In The Firsts, New York Times reporter Jennifer Steinhauer follows these women's first year in the 116th Congress.

When Ohio newspapers published the story of Alice Chenoweth's affair with a married man, she changed her name to Helen Hamilton Gardener, moved to New York, and devoted her life to championing women's rights and decrying the sexual double standard. She became one of the most sought-after speakers on the 19th-century lecture circuit, published seven books and countless essays, supported herself, hobnobbed with the most interesting thinkers of her era, visited 22 countries, and was celebrated for her audacious ideas and keen wit.

Story
Kristen Richardson, from a family of debutantes, chose not to debut. But as her curiosity drove her to research this enduring custom, she learned that it, and debutantes, are not as simple as they seem. The story begins in England 600 years ago when wealthy fathers needed an efficient way to find appropriate husbands for their daughters. Elizabeth I's exclusive presentations at her court expanded into London's full season of dances, dinners, and courting, extending eventually to the many corners of the British empire and beyond.

Story
This talk puts to rest another of the remarkable myths of the American Revolution: that it was an all-male affair. An 8-year home front war and American women didn't notice it? In fact, the politicization of women in the 1760s and 1770s is one of the most striking consequences of the rebellion against British rule. Women made the boycotts of British imports work. They picketed merchants who dared to sell British cloth and tea. They produced homespun or Liberty cloth as they called it - willingly engaging in the single most boring task known to colonial America.

During the hardships of obtaining emancipation, two couples shared one home in Illinois. Residing with them was a young Black girl named Polly Crocket. But after five years, Polly, along with the two couples, were abducted, placed into a canoe, and taken down South where they became slaves. Polly was then bought by a prior who, after a year, faced setbacks that required him to sell all he owned, including Polly.

Story
Why They Stay explores the reasoning and motivation of wives who stay with their politician-husbands after they cheat. Hillary Clinton couldn't have known in 1998 how her husband's high-profile philandering would play out. Would he be rehabilitated in the public eye? She took the gamble. Had she left the marriage, today she might be the spurned wife of a retired politician instead of the first American woman to run for president on a major party ticket.

Story
Al congresso della Sorbona del 1894, il barone Pierre de Coubertin annunciò per la prima volta l'idea di recuperare gli antichi Giochi di Olimpia, partendo da Parigi e dall'EXPO, già programmata nel 1900, sei più tardi. "Concorsi internazionali d'esercizi fisici e dello sport". L'idea viene accolta con entusiasmo, ma sei anni parvero un periodo di tempo troppo lungo, così fu deciso di indire la Prima Olimpiade ad Atene, nel 1896, in attesa di Parigi.

Il fondatore delle moderne olimpiadi, quello dello spirito olimpico per intenderci, riteneva che fosse più indicato per le donne praticare sport senza mostrarsi in pubblico. Parliamo del Barone de Coubertin. Lo storico e pedagogo francese che giunse alla conclusione che gli sconfitti nella guerra franco prussiana non avevano ricevuto un'educazione fisica adeguata. Meglio su di un campo da gioco che in guerra! Le donne? Niente.

La pasión, bien sea amorosa, ideológica o simplemente vital, ha tenido consecuencias desdichadas para el sexo femenino. La consagración de una vida al arte, al amor, o a una causa política o religiosa muchas veces ha resultado en un trágico final para muchas mujeres a lo largo de todas las épocas y en todas las latitudes. Juana de Arco, Inés de Castro, Ana Bolena, María Estuardo, Mata Hari, Diana de Gales, Grace Kelly o Diane Fossey murieron víctimas de la intolerancia de quienes las rodeaban o por haber cometido el delito de amar apasionadamente.

Douglas’ address, now commonly referred to as "Sarah Mapps Douglas Urges Support for the Anti-Slavery Cause", made in 1832, is essential Civil War-era rhetoric for the abolishment of slavery.

In 1890, she formed the Woman’s National Liberal Union, and at its founding convention, Gage delivered the speech "Dangers of the Hour".
