- When you select a specific woman, you need to be sure not to make your
speech or report just about her life. You need to draw some conclusions as to the way her life left
an impact on women in her own time and still today. If you choose another topic, you need to draw some conclusion
as to the effect it had on women today--How would life be different if
this had not happened or been a part of history?
