When we read about prehistoric people, most of it is about cave men. there isn't much about cave
women. most of us think of prehistoric women from cartoons, many of which show men dragging
women by their hair. in other words, we get the idea that men were the dominant gender of ancient
times.
science tells a very different story. evidence from prehistoric statues and cave art tells us that
women were probably held in high regard and probably invented many things necessary to human
societies. for example, it seems likely that women, not men, invented gardening, as well as created
the first baskets and pottery. this makes sense for two reasons. first, women had to care for young
children, so they remained close to the camp or cave. men were often away somewhere hunting for
game. women were also the ones who had the time to weave baskets, make clay pots, and
feed the people by tending to gardens.

a

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
