Question

'Well-behaved girls rarely made history' your thoughts on this??

Answer 1

replace girls with people. rebels, revolutionaries, tyrants, etc. are the people in the history books.

Answer 2

Absolutely. The well-mannered cannot manifest change

Answer 3

My thoughts are.."so that's why I'm naughty.."

Answer 4

I would agree with that statement, but I believe that the girls who have made history weren't all necessarily "misbehaving", they were doing what they knew was morally right.

Answer 5

of course that's absolutely true. even florence nightingale had a french kiss or two. it's awesome how we can remember a villain and forget the life story of a hero. it all depends on how you mark yourself in the history of the world, y'know? and although everyone loves a heroine, bonnie from bonnie and clyde will steal the top.

Answer 6

I totally agree, revolutionaries make history, nobody remembers the passive submissive housewife once she's dead, but everybody remembers Joan of Arc.

Answer 7

It's completely true because the historic (and contemporary in some places) plight of women has been oppression.  A well behaved woman historically has been one who won't be noticed and will speak only when spoken to.  Therefore a woman who leaves a mark in history speaks out for what is right and as the time sees it "misbehaves".  Thankfully we have had many of these women to set an example!
