Eunice Foote, Amateur Scientist From the Mid-1800s Whose Experiments Foreshadowed the Discovery of Earth's Greenhouse Effect
Science was one of those domains where women were struggling to be heard, and Eunice Foote is among the pioneers whose work paved the way toward acceptance.

Julia Sneden Wrote: A Look Back at Boomers and Welcome To the Other Side Of the Hill
Julia Sneden wrote: As the Boomers moved into adulthood, they proved themselves able to make huge changes in laws and customs. They have immeasurably furthered tolerance among people of different races and religions. The causes they embraced have brought about new attitudes toward same-sex relationships, single parenting, women in the work force, the environment, and physical fitness. New marketing strategies were developed to entice Boomers. (Remember when you could buy shoes without a company's logo on it, or a shirt without the designer's name on the pocket?) more »
