As I read the assigned readings this week I wanted to understand Nancy Jaax before labeling her as a “heroic or irresponsible” figure. Her motivation and determination to be part of the Level 4 in order to help find a cure that would avert a tragedy to the human species seemed to be heroic but selfish. In my point of view, Jaax put herself before her husband, her children, and her own safety. The moment that she decided to join the research without taking into consideration her family and the danger that she would be exposing them by exposing herself to an uncontrolled virus, I depicted her as irresponsible. In a section of “Project Ebola”, a hint is given that due to Jaax being in a hurry to begin her first day in Level 4, led to her being

Chances are that you have never heard of Nancy Hart. During the revolutionary war, it was unthinkable for women to fight due to the pressure and prejudiced thoughts on them at that time. Throughout the war, it was always the British against the colonists, but some colonists were loyal to Britain, who were called Tories. Speaking about Tories, one of Hart’s many heroic deeds involved 6 Tories. Hart was an ungainly illiterate woman, but she managed to shatter the stigma around women by actively participating in this war. She dressed as a man to spy on a British camp, killed 6 Tories who were unjustly, and was brave enough to build a raft to gain information when no one else would. Although many do not know her name or what she did, Nancy Hart deserves to be recognized as a hero in history.

Under this background, voices from women were largely overlooked. As shown in Kingston’s essay, the aunt’s voice was ignored in the whole story. First, she did not get to speak up to marry the one she loved because of arranged marriage.
