Ulrich’s Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History is part of a large collection of books and other materials available through the Evanston Public Library on the topic of Women’s Studies. Somehow it went viral and Ulrich starting seeing herself quoted on the aforementioned mugs and t-shirts. She saw this as a wonderful jumping-off point for a book dealing with how women have shaped history, citing examples from the lives of Rosa Parks, Christine de Pizan, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Tubman, Virginia Woolf, and many other notable women in American and world history. ![]() But here’s the truth: Harvard professor Laurel Thatcher Ulrich used it in an obscure article on the little-studied funeral practices in Puritan America. But who said it first? Mae West wouldn’t be a bad guess. Gloria Steinem is another candidate. We’ve seen that clever quip on mugs, t-shirts, and posters, and it’s been used by news commentators, politicos, and pundits. ![]() ![]() “Well-behaved women seldom make history.” Encuentros de Escucha e Intercambio Comunitario.10 am - 8 pm 10 am - 8 pm 10 am - 8 pm 10 am - 8 pm 9 am - 6 pm 9 am - 6 pm 12 pm - 6 pm 10 am - 8 pm 10 am - 8 pm 10 am - 8 pm 10 am - 8 pm 9 am - 6 pm 9 am - 6 pm 12 pm - 6 pm See All Evanston Public Library ![]()
