If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?
When I first signed up to take classes at Shenandoah University, I met with my advisor. His primary focus was (is?) American Literature. Specifically Willa Cahter.
He asked which famous American lady I would like to meet.
I, being a terrible history student at the time, was stumped. I still don’t have a great answer, not because I’m still a poor student, but because my history focus is aimed more at the pre-1700s.
Yes, I am a good European history student.
I would have liked to met Anne Boleyn. She had her standards and wasn’t going to be content as Henry’s side-chick.
There is so much that public school didn’t teach. And, clearly they are teaching less now.
