Just like the Critical Race Theory, American history classes DO need to include women's historical contributions, like Frances Perkins. And actually, as a woman, I feel that contributions by ALL previously marginalized Americans should be taught. Because the truth is and always has been that behind every successful white man in our entire history, there were always women and minorities. We just haven't been taught that.

Yes, and along with Their/story, His/story and Her/story become completely mesmerizing!

Sometimes I observe that a white man’s philosophy is to judge the worst in people whether right or wrong. A woman’s philosophy observes that we are all in this together.
