Will Hillary Clinton go down in history this week as the greatest woman ever after her exploits to stand by?

Other than the likes of Elinor Roosevelt and other First Lady's or actresses and celebrities the only American women who stand out for me are Patty Hurst or Peggy Guggenheim. I think I'll go with Peggy Guggenheim as I've been to the Guggenheim in Venice and saw some beautiful painting and artwork. Before WWII she traveled round Europe buying artwork by young up and coming artists.

I think that she only just escaped being interned by the Nazis by the skin of her teeth. (I think that there was a documentary about her a few years ago. I can't remember what TV station it was on, but it could have been one of the BBC stations.

The only other Historical American woman I can think of is Pocahontas and that is only because of the Disney film. I know that her story was ADAPTED and that she did NOT in fact marry John Smith. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentari... Found this interview with the producer of the documentary I mentioned earlier.

He talked about Peggy Guggenheim and some of the stuff which was in the documentary.

There are many, of course, but my favorite has always been Deborah Sampson. She dressed as a man and served in George Washington's infantry on the front lines and in full combat for 3 years. She was injured several times, and had to care for her own wounds (or her gender would be found out), including having to take out a bullet from her thigh with a penknife and sewing up the wound herself.

She was only discovered after she caught fever, and a doctor saw she wasn't a man. Deborah was one of many women who dressed as men and fought in the war, but she proved that a woman can take on combat (three years of it), in some of the most gruesome battle situations.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
