Historian Alert
Jun. 12th, 2007 08:35 pmFellow history buffs/geeks on my f-list, your assistance is requested.
My current class is History of Modern Europe. We have to write a 12 or so page paper on a topic we get to pick. I sent the professor 2 ideas, hoping that she would say one was really spiffy. She liked both of them however, so I'm looking for more input while I try to make my decision.
1) Impact of Mary Wollstonecraft and Vindication of the Rights of Woman on female suffrage
2) "Nationalization" of the British monarchy pre-WW1, becoming more associated with their country and less with monarchy/nobility as a class - ie, things like the name change to Windsor, the family tensions prior to WW1, refusal to evacuate Nicholas II and Alexandra.
Opinions?
