It's as though society pulled females back from doing some of those things for a time in our history, and then women had to fight tooth and nail to regain what they once had.

Unfortunately, this would involve doing so,etching historical, which scares the crap about of me. I flirt with it. Lots of history in my work, but nothing in period.
