Chapter 1:
1. What do you think Christine Frederick feared when she said "Our greatest enemy is the woman with the career?" Page 29
2. Ellen Richards was accepted in MIT as a "special student" because they didn't want have the precedent of coeducation. Is this something that could still be happening in today's society? A woman having to be unknown or not on a roster because of her gender?
Chapter 2:
1. Why did women carry a heavier burden during the domestic sanitary uplift?
2. The end of the chapter states "we may find ourselves turning to those old texts on household sanitation and bacteriology for more than historical insight" (54). Do you think this is true or has our science come far enough?
