The twentieth century will, without doubt, be viewed by historians as the Woman’s Hour. A girl born in 1899, had little chance of evading the role that was considered her destiny - to marry young, stay at home and raise a family. Still, only the privileged few, whose fathers or husbands were enlightened enough to permit it, got foot on the ladder of opportunity. In the early part of the century the suffragists argued powerfully, but peacefully for the vote.
For many first-year students, the University may be their first experience living away from home for an extended period of time. It is a definite break from home. In my point of view this is the best thing that you can do. I know you have to fend for yourself, cook and clean after yourself, basically look after yourself without your parents but the truth is – some time in your life you are going to have to part with lovely Mummy and Daddy. But they are only just a phone call away and it is really good to have some QUALITY TIME without them. T

Most of us loves time, when he or she can leave work or school and go to holiday. People frequently spend their holiday by sitting at home, by going to grandparents or going somewhere abroad. I am not an exception. During 19 years I have been living, I had many holidays. I had had all three kinds of holidays noted earlier. Every one of them looked different.

A brilliant pioneer in field archaeology, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, b. Jan. 8, 1822, d. Dec. 26, 1890, is best known for his excavations at ancient TROY and MYCENAE.
