Interesting Quote..I've written on it before; so I'm just gonna post it this time.

"Well behaved women rarely make history" by J. Ulrich

Why is it that well behaved men still make history but not women?

Does Princess Diana count as a dignified person who made history? Condoleeza Rice? Queen Elizabeth I?

Come to think of it, I'm not sure where the well-behaved history-making men are ;-) I think the modern media tends to focus on people behaving badly.

Yeah what grad007 said. people in general who think outside of the box and act out of norms tend to make the most extreme actions and create history. Anyway, what example of women who behave badly that make history are you thinking of? The first women that I think of are people like Marie Currie, Helen Keller, Mother Theresa, etc. Maybe it's just me, but the women in history seem pretty well behaved to me. They just didn't follow society norms, instead making their own paths.
