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 Paris Geller, and I'm from Hartford, Connecticut," Paris said. "Like a normal person. And I'm inspired by a lot of people: Ruth Bader Ginsberg in the Supreme Court, and Hillary Clinton who was robbed from being President, for just a few in the field of law. Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to be awarded an MD in the United States, so she's a heroine of mine, too. And Malala Yousafzai, who's our age and has already won a Nobel Prize, so clearly we're all slackers."

Paris...wouldn't strike anyone as a slacker. "I've written up brief reports about all four, if you'd be interested," she added.

And suddenly Brooke realized that she might've made a terrible mistake in teaching. At least when she didn't sign up on purpose no one really expected anything of her.

"A couple of those are on my list, so how about you keep them til we get to them and can turn them in then?"

Oh no, those would be bad class days.

"I can give them some more polishing," Paris agreed, nodding.
