Wow, what a topic. I hadn't given this much thought before just now. I'd have to take a course on how to research before I could ever even hope to do this but I am fascinated with women from the past and how they lived so differently from us. I read a small book once with short chapters taken from diaries and letters by a Victorian upper class young lady, a Civil war wife who lived in a cave at Vicksburg, a pioneer mother crossing the plains, an Indian woman, etc. I would like to do another one with more entries and more detail and some from other countries.
