Seemingly, humankind has always been in some form of struggle. Rarely, if ever, was there a “golden age” of peace and harmony outside and beyond the home. Historians generally select men and kings, mighty men to determine what happened in this or that episode of existence. Long ago, I learned that men did not do whatever is attributed to them by themselves. Often women were beside them, frequently, as partners in what, in fact, was their joint pursuit. Sometimes the women were ahead of the men, bringing forward new information. Sometimes women were opposed to the prevailing norms, mounting their counter arguments and often paying a price.
