Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “well behaved women seldom make history.” It was coined by Laura Thatcher Ulrich, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard Professor in 1976. Ulrich was told by others in academia that women’s lives were not interesting, and she should stop wasting her time researching “the silent work of the ordinary.” She did not and went on to show that women’s lives and their work were anything but ordinary.
