Additional Info

Hi everyone
Unfortunately, I am not in our lesson tomorrow. In my absence, please can you do task 3 on the attached sheet. I have copied it here:

You are a naturally curious, intelligent and opinionated woman in the 19th C, who is frustrated by the lack of opportunities on offer to you and the assumptions that you are less able to learn than a man.

Write a letter to your local MP, explaining your feelings, why the current ideas about a woman's role is unfair and/or irrational, and what changes you would like to see happen in the future. What benefits to society would these changes bring, in your opinion?

Remember, you are writing to someone who holds very different views from you but has all the power. You want to be taken seriously so you have to sound logical, thoughtful and composed. Any emotional ranting will result in you being considered typically female and incapable of participating in social and political debate! 

Please upload as far as you get with this to homework section under your name on OneNote. Do not worry if you don't finish it.

If you finish this, you can start Tasks 1 and 2 (the tasks set for homework)

Thank you
Miss Hawley
