I attended the unconventional women lecture. The first speaker gave a presentation on Catalina de erauso, how she disguised herself a as a man in order to fight in the army. Catalina had stolen a needle and thread and left the church because she fought with her aunt.

The last speaker gave a presentation on Rosa parks and racy Taylor. Rosa parks was really tired one dyad n dint wan to give up he seat on the bus. Her grandfather was a social activist too. Rosa first big assignment in the NAACP was about black women being raped by men. Racy Taylor was raped by six white men one day. She was walking the streets and got kidnapped. Her friends reported to the police the driver of the car confessed but nothing was done. I truly enjoy this lecture it was interesting since I didn’t know about any of these ladies. It made me have respect for them. I agree with what was presented since I believe in equal rights and that woman should be treated with respect. I went into this lecture with no expectations and I was really surprised since I was intrigued and not bored. My favorite story was Catalina de erauso, it was so surprising ho she never got caught that she was a woman and she did a lot of things while hiding her identity. It was a really gun and interesting story overall. If this presentation will take place gain and maybe with new stories I would gladly attend. Women in history is something that is not spoken about so
