Such was the case with Anne Frank, who came around when some Dutch students were playing with Play Doh in a synagogue trying to make a woman in the way God made a man. Having failed at this sport, they found the first worshipper they could find and proceeded to get drunk with her.

 AEGiS-ST: Pregnant woman's doctor 'did not tell her she had HIV'
An Mpumalanga woman is suing her doctor because he failed to warn her that she had tested positive for HIV during her pregnancy.
The woman, identified only as VRM, appeared in the Pretoria High Court this week to appeal against a court ruling that the council was correct not to censure Dr Elardus Labuschagne for acting unethically and failing to follow medical guidelines on HIV testing and disclosure.
In court papers, the woman said Labuschagne's failure to alert her to her HIV status denied her the chance to use antiretroviral drugs to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to her baby - who was subsequently stillborn as a result of HIV complications.

 Did Woman Evolve from the Beasts?
who of course is notorious for his excessive penchant for such free departures from the literal sense of a great many biblical texts.
The woman is fashioned “with the rib” that God-Yahweh had taken from the man. Considering the archaic, metaphorical and imaginative manner in which the thought is expressed, we can establish that this passage has to do with the homogeneity of the total being of both persons.
The woman God “fashions” from the man’s rib and brings to him elicits on the man’s part a cry of wonder, an exclamation of love and communion: “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.” Man discovers woman as another “I”, sharing the same humanity.

 New Woman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Woman was a feminist ideal which emerged in the final decades of the 19th century in Europe and North America.
Advocates of the New Woman ideal were found among novelists, playwrights, journalists, pamphleteers, political thinkers and suffragettes.
Heavily opposed by conservatives, the New Woman movement started to fade away in the course of the First World War when, due to a shortage of "manpower", many women took on jobs and when, shortly after the war, universal suffrage was achieved.

 Women Who Did - Essays - Penguin Classics
The experience was enough to turn Hardy away from the novel, which he rejected as an ultimately compromised, and compromising, form; a vehicle for, as he put it in his autobiography, 'inert crystalized opinion—hard as a rock—which the vast body of men have vested interests in supporting'.
The emancipation of woman might leave her 'a dulled and spiritless epicene automaton'; he observed that healthy girls who embarked upon higher education ('mannish training') became unattractive and unsexed; 'both in England and America, the women of the cultivated classes are becoming unfit to be wives or mothers.
It tells the stories of competing voices—of the men and women who entered into the fray of the fin de siécle, and were not afraid to confront, challenge or delight in the irrepressible New, in an irrepressibly new form, the short story.

But her enthralling tale is also riddled with the unanticipated, with surprises and ironies so weird they had to come, not from a screenwriter's imagination, but from that most prolific of authors, life itself.
Usually she was the sole woman (and a young and pretty one, too) in a barracks full of men who appreciated her, so the early pages of the diary are full of wonderful group meals, sing-alongs and spirited discussions of how this silly war will be over quickly when the leaders come to their senses.
When he takes her to Gestapo headquarters, she manages to tear the paper into tiny bits and eat them one by one; the officer finds one bit and says incredulously, "You ate it!" but is too frightened of his masters to confess his incompetence.

 Woman Suffrage in Colorado, 1877-1893, Introduction
Newer historiographical approaches, however, recognize that woman suffrage did not just “happen,” men did not simply “give” women the right to vote, and although there were factors that facilitated the achievement of woman suffrage in the American West, it was not a guarantee.
In the end, Republicans divided over woman suffrage (see documents 13 and 23), and it was the Populists who provided a forum for suffragists within their ranks (see document 11), introduced the 1893 suffrage bill in the Colorado legislature (see document 13), and proclaimed it law (see document 26).
Moreover, the failure in 1877 cannot be disentangled from the end of Reconstruction and weariness over the issue of Black male suffrage at the national level (see documents 1 and 5), and success in 1893 occurred within the context of the nation’s worst economic crisis to that date and subsequent political changes.

Williams, an independent scholar, is among the latest in a long line of doubters who make much of the dearth of hard facts about Shakespeare, not to mention the disparity between his humble background (the son of a man who wrote his name by making an "X") and his immense vocabulary and range of knowledge.
To these skeptics, "William Shakespeare" was a cover for someone of higher education who rubbed shoulders with princes and nobles from an early age but who, for some reason or other, could not bring himself to sign his name to "Measure for Measure," "Hamlet" and the rest.
