Choose a famous woman in history introduce the major stages of her life, explain her significance and highlight the reasons why you consider her a major figure in history. It is important that you go beyond simply listing facts from your sources; you must make the material your own by commenting on, evaluating, and explaining the facts. In other words, please DO NOT: • attempt to give a complete overview of the person’s life from cradle to grave; • simply copy facts and data from your research sources. If your paper does not include your own evaluations, comments, and explanations, it will receive a very low score!!! Please DO: • present YOUR OWN portrait of the person. Make clear what achievements of the person YOU value most; • do this by selecting specific details then explain and evaluate their significance in general as well as for yourself.
