I thought that if I ...

The author of this paper opines that the very question “is history a science or an art” is redundant. A scientist has to have a certain degree of creativity and imagination to be good at his or her work. For instance, in general terms, a zoologist has to understand organisms at the cellular level as well as have an understanding of their habits and needs to appreciate animal behavior. This not only requires scientific training but also a certain development of instincts and awareness, which in many ways makes the zoologist a keen observer of life, not unlike a ...

Taunting jeers and the occasional rumors dominated most of my childhood years and as a result, I spent said years in solitude. With no friends, I spent many hours with my books, reading anything I lay my hands on ...

Such endeavors would enable them to make the society realize that women have a position in the political system.

As Haraway argues, ‘women know very well that knowledge from natural sciences has been used in the interests of our domination and not our liberation’ (Haraway, 10). Women were seen as playing a subordinate role to men, and they were always ...
