Zinn -- Chapter 6

Note: J-Man is giving me a hard time about my slowness in getting questions up... I must confess that I am presently finishing my final grad school project and unfortunately (or is it fortunate?) for you folks, that takes priority over me getting these questions up for you to ponder. Monday will be it... after that, we'll return to Zinn when we reach that time frame in Brinkley. Thanks to a couple of you who have answered every question... that will not go unnoticed.

24. Mary Dyer is a character covered in both Boorstin and Zinn. However, each puts a different spin on her story. Please identify this difference, and why do you think they differ?

25. Pay attention to Zinn's reference to the "cult of domesticity." It is very important and will come up again in the Brinkley text. Although I feel that Zinn covers this topic the best.

27. In your notebook, you'll need to know these ladies and their specifics:
Anne Hutchinson, Abigail Adams, Margaret Corbin (aka, Dirty Kate), Deborah Sampson Garnet, Molly Picher, Mary Wollstonecraft (although English), Amelia Bloomer, Emma Willard (I visited her school in Troy, NY), Dr. Harriot Hunt, Elizabeth Blackwell, Lucy Stone, Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Dorothea Dix, Frances Wright, Lucretia Mott, and Sojourner "Ain't I a Women" Truth.
