Badass Women You Should Know- Monday- 2nd period

[gobrookeyourself]

"Good morning, everybody," Brooke greeted the students once class had started. "My name's Brooke Davis, and this is Badass Women You Should Know. History is filled with women who did awesome things or created some of the stuff that makes up the way life is today, and we don't hear enough about them. We'll be focusing on history from around the world here, by the way. Like Earth, current day 2018. I'm kind of new to teaching and I'm going to be learning as I go with this, I don't know if I can find out about a ruler from another world on Wikipedia. But if there's someone from your neck of the woods who should be covered, talk to me and maybe we can work out an extra credit thing.

"So!" she went on. "We're starting easy today, with introductions before you're sick of them. I want your name and where you're from, and someone who inspires you, even if it's like your mom. And if you have a woman that you definitely want to see covered in this class, name her. Let's start with you."

"I'm Gratuity Tucci," Tip said. "Aka Tip. I'm from Pennsylvania, which is on Earth, so that's handy, I guess? Um, as for people who inspire me . . . a lot of people I've met have been really dumb. But there was this one guy -- which doesn't really fit the class theme, but at least he wasn't a white guy, so it's not like we'd've learned about him in normal history classes either. Anyway, his name was Chief Shouting Bear. Or that's what the people in Roswell called him because he tended to communicate with racist white people only through shouting."

God, but the Chief had been bad ass. Tip was looking forward to being so old that she didn't need to give a shit about what anyone thought of her anymore.

"Like the internet?"

Brooke wasn't actually from 2018, exactly, but she definitely got the yelling at racists.

"Only without all the anonymity. He straight up just shouted in their faces." Tip grinned. "It was beautiful."
