Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History [Session 1, Period 4]

When the class arrived in the danger shop, they would find themselves surrounded by several images of women from different time periods. Annja was leaning against a pillar and when the last student arrived, she pressed a button on the remote in her hand and the images froze.

"Welcome to Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History. I'm Annja and I'll be your instructor." She gave them all a smile. "I know, I don't look much older than most of you, but trust me, I have the experience and the knowledge. I have a Masters degree in Archaeology and I'm working on my Doctorate. I want to say that I commend all of you for deciding to take a class that will rerquire thinking and interaction on a Friday afternoon." She looked around the class. "Starting next week, we'll begin the tour of history and the women that we know a great deal about -- and those that we do not. However. today's class is going to be more laid back. We're going to do introductions -- yeah, I know, but it's still the first week, so I get to make you do it. I want you to tell me your name, your grade, why you took this class and a woman in history that you admire or want to learn more about. I'll even go first."

She straightened. "I'm Annja Creed-Nast and I graduated from Fandom High. You can call me Annja, or, if you absolutely must be formal, Mrs. Nast. I will warn you, however, that I'm not used to being called by my married name. My husband also lives in Fandom and runs the sporting goods shop in town. As for female historical figure, I feel a particularly strong pull to Joan of Arc, or Jeanne d'Arc." She looked around the room and gestured at a student. "And now your turn."

Before class ended she lifted a hand. "Could I please speak to Miss Blythe and Miss Shira after class."

"Thank the gods," Gabrielle said after a brief, resigned sigh over the fact that of course she hadn't heard of Xena. No one she'd talked to had. THIS WAS SO WRONG.

Focus, Gabs.

Also, Annja, she might argue with those lessons later, because her canon is made of crack historical records never seemed to match up to her experiences somehow.
