[edit] Quotation

The altered quotation is found, both on the web and in print, in both versions -- "seldom" and "rarely." I haven't tracked down either original quotation -- but suspect she actually said/wrote both versions in different venues. Can you think of any reason to prefer either version over the other? Comments welcome. WBardwin 07:46, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

I changed it because the seldom version is the one I have printed on my bumper sticker that is copyrighted by her. It says "copyright Laurel Thatcher Ulrich 2004" underneath the quote. Also, I took a look around at all the web sites actually written by her and it says "seldom". Pschemp 15:04, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Notable Women?"

Ulrich herself says that her original article was actually about Purtian funeral servants, not about notable women... see this lecture. I will change this unless there are objections... Klippin (talk) 04:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
