History's Women
by Patricia R. Chadwick "History's Women" highlights the extraordinary achievements of many unsung heroines, recognizing the obstacles they've had to overcome in order to reach their goals. " Throughout the ages, the achievements of women have been overlooked by the majority of historians. When one looks back throughout history, whether secular or Christian, they will find the deeds of great men displayed in written accounts with great detail. To find out the effects women had on society, one will have to dig much deeper. It wasn’t until the later part of the nineteenth century that volumes on the contributions of women to society began to appear in any significant proportion. Up until this time, while the written record was not silent on the achievements of women, the volumes detailing the lives of great women were few. Though their contributions are not recorded in many history books, from the beginning of time, women have influenced the worlds in which they lived in a mighty way. God has used women throughout history in a variety of ways. From the earliest of times lived women who ruled nations, led armies, wrote books and songs, performed mighty deeds of valor, and worked unceasingly to improve society. Without the contributions of women throughout the ages, the world would be a different place today.
