Time to bitch about my history midterm..... Bah!

[LynzM]

First, let me say that I'm *very glad* that we get the questions in advance. She gives three essay questions, of which two will be on the exam, and we have to pick on to write. So, that means I can pick one to totally ignore and two to prepare for. That said, I don't really *want* to write about any of them... As someone whose schooling has focused mainly on engineering, math, and German, I find history to be a very challenging subject to organize in my brain.

Potential exam questions:

1.) The French Revolution offered opportunities for women in politics. Using Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Godineau's "Political Culture and Female Sociability in the French Revolution" discuss the participation of women in the French Revolution Era and discuss whether their participation had any lasting effect in the political landscape in France.

2.) Using Clark's "Struggle for Breeches," Weisner's Chap 6 "Labor Old and New," and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, discuss how the Industrial Revolution affected society and the reactions to the effects of industrialization.

3.) Using Clark's "Struggle for Breeches" and Weisner Chap 9 "Expansion and Public Opinion: Advocats of the 'New Imperialism,'" discuss the influence of 19th century middle-class liberalism on domestic conditions and foreign relations.

Ick. Ick and ick. I don't even know which one I'm not going to do, yet. Bleh! </pity party>

Which one would *you* pick to not prepare for?
