Lucille Teasdale-Corti was one of the first female surgeons in Canada. Lucille studied hard in school, graduated with top marks. She specialized in surgery. Lucille interned in a children's hospital in Montreal. While she was working she meet Piero Corti an Italian doctor who studied in pediatrics. She had to move to France to complete her training. Piero Corti, who would soon be her husband asked Lucille if she would join him in Uganda to work as the hospital’s first and only surgeon. They travelled to Gulu, Uganda, to practice medicine and to help those in need. She was the only doctor there so she saw lots of patients and lots of surgery in hard conditions sometimes. But this glorious work she did would kill her by contracting aids, she was told that she would die in two years still worked for another eleven years she died at 67 in 1996. She's one of the most remarkable women in Canada.

Instead of holding on to all 3,000 issued stock options, Ms. Jameson could keep a portion of the stock options and trade some in the market. Keeping some Telstar stock options would help keep her tied to the company without making her feel that she is bound to the company for the next five years or that she is facing enormous risk of losing her bonus altogether. By doing this, Ms. Jameson would provide herself with the opportunity to make investments outside of Telstar, and thus, better diversify her

After her conoy was attacted in 2005, Hester and her squad leader Staff Sgt. Timothy Nein led their unit in a major firefight, Hester utilizing a grenade launcher (Martin, 2011). The two cleared two trenches, and Hester is credited with shotting and killing three enemy insurgents, and became the first female to receive the Silver Star since WWII “and the only woman to get it for engaging in direct combat with the enemy” (Martin, 2011, para. 15). Hester told NPR “"You know, it's just something that happened one day, and I was trained to do what I did, and I did it. We all lived through that battle” (Martin, 2011, para. 19). These days this is in line with what most Americans expect from our soldiers, regardless of their biological sex or their expressed gender!

Most tanks of the 1920’s were made to fill the role of infantry support or to be riding into the battle with the infantry. “The Vickers Mediums stimulated the Royal Tank Corps to develop mobile tactics, and various experiments during the 1920s and early ’30s resulted in the general adoption of two categories of tanks…while slower but more heavily armored tanks provided infantry support.” (Ogorkiewicz, “Tank Military vehicle”). The slower more armored tanks would be used to help infantry in battle in multiple roles. Although most tanks now can be used for either role, infantry support or just going to battle alone, they still have the role of being a guardian angel for the infantry. Tanks now can be used to take out enemy tanks alone and can also be used to take out installments of enemy troops on the battle field. Tanks have always had the same role but they have also

Buck versus Bell 274 U.S. 2000 (1927) was the United States Supreme Court ruling that upheld a statue instituting compulsory sterilization of the unfit, including the mentally retarded “for the protection and health of the state.” (Holmes) It was largely seen as an endorsement of negative eugenics which is the attempt of science to improve the human race by eliminating “defectives” from the gene pool. (Elof) Paul Lombardo argues (in N.Y.U. Law Review, April 1985, 60(30):30-62) that the Buck case was a milestone in government power over individual rights. (Lambardo) In his essay “Carrie Buck’s Daughter: a popular, quasi-scientific idea can be a powerful tool for injustice,” Stephen Jay Gould attacks

“My Mother Never Worked by Bonnie Smith-Yackel” “Social Security Office” (Smith-Yackel 123). Is how this recollection begins, a daughter settling her mother’s estate is providing an agent information about the deceased in hopes to claim benefits due. Placed on hold she begins to recall her mother’s hard-working life. Opening with her parents’ fifty-two-year love story, a wartime courtship spanning two years of letters. Marriage ensued with two children born in the first two years.

In any war, there are people who are a part of the efforts that make it successful, but go unrecognized as a major “player” in it. The Civil War was no different and Susie (Baker) King Taylor is one of the many African-Americans that served in the “colored” regiments that helped the Union win the civil war. The fact that she was a woman makes her even more unique.

From Continental Army Soldier Deborah Samson to Army Sergeant Leigh Ann Hester, American ladies have been serving in the U.S. Military for several years. Women have been a piece of the war exertion since the Revolutionary War, yet in the beginning of our country they needed to mask themselves to serve alongside men. When they were acknowledged into the military, ladies were given helper or supportive parts. As the weapons and strategies for fighting changed in the late 20th century, in any case, the Pentagon started to soon understand that whether you were female or male; it mattered less on the combat zone.

When the American Civil War began on April 12th, 1861, over 3 million Union and Confederate soldiers prepared for battle. Men from all over America were called upon to support their side in the confrontation. While their battles are well documented and historically analyzed for over a hundred years, there is one aspect, one dark spot missing in the picture: the role of women in the American Civil War. From staying at home to take care of the children to disguising themselves as men to fight on the battlefield, women contributed in many ways to the war effort on both sides. Though very few women are recognized for their vital contributions, even fewer are

Women served an important role in WWII. They not only took the challenge and stepped up to take the places of the men off fighting in the war to work in factories, but they also fought side by side with those risking their lives and fighting for their country. They were needed everywhere during the war. There were an unbelievable amount of job opportunities for women during the war and many supported the brave acts of voluntary enlistment. “‘A woman’s place is in the home’ was an old adage, but it still held true at the start of World War II. Even though millions of women worked, home and family we considered the focus of their lives” says Brenda Ralf Lewis. Without the help of those women who were brave enough to

Belinda Mason was a short-story writer, a reporter for a Kentucky newspaper, and a well-known journalist in her small home town of Eastern Kentucky. Mason was also a daughter, sister, wife and mother of two beautiful children. Unfortunately, Mason died at an early age from complications of AIDS. Mason’s life and death had a substantial impact on the state of Kentucky.

Her beautiful face her strong arm and the “We can do it” sign was a strong symbolism that supported us women. Women played a huge role in the success of world war two. We demonstrated our abilities we might be the weaker gender but we have a strong spirit. We have to thank those who believed and helped us achieve but can’t ignore the fact that many united to help each others. Through out the war Rosie the Riveter gave strength to many women for many whom worked in the manufacturing plants those who produced munitions and materials.

The United States used tanks very effectively throughout the war. “In 1943-4 the USA produced 47,000 tanks, almost all Shermans, while Germany produced 29,600 tanks and assault guns. Britain, in 1944, produced only 5000 tanks.”(Keegan 399). “Their rule was that five shermans were needed to knock out one German Panther.” By producing this many tanks they were able to send in loads of them into the battlefield and have the advantage over their enemies. This rule the army had was understandable, since the United States produced 47,000 tanks throughout the

However, enforced cultural notions of gender differences prohibit Clarissa from blossoming a lesbian attraction towards Sally Seton. Progressing through the novel, Clarissa asks “had not that, after all, been love?” in regards to her relationship with Sally. She makes it obvious she was stifled in her homosexual love, due to her conservative attitude and society’s standards. Many critics believe that Sally Seton represents Virginia Woolf’s love for Violet Dickinson. To further elaborate, Clarissa feels that a sexual dimension in her life is now irrevocably lost, due to her understanding of her own capacities for bisexuality. Similar to Virginia and Leonard’s relationship, Clarissa and Richard are no longer sharing a bedroom, as sexual relations

Margaret Corbin is only one of many women who astounded society and would change the face of the military forever. During the times before women were allowed to enlist as soldiers, many women took the issue into their own hands, disguising themselves as men and enlisting in the military under false pretenses. Deborah Sampson was one of the women who participated in this trend. Sampson was enlisted in General Washington’s army and proved to be quite competent and an asset to her fellow soldiers. Deborah Sampson’s true identity was discovered shortly after she was wounded in battle. Despite her actions being illegal, Sampson received an honorable discharge as well as military pension for her duties (Time Line: Women in the U.S. Military).
