Despite my pessimism though this event is really a good thing. The fact that it was called "Shakespeare Sister" is especially interesting and amusing. With Shakespeare being one of the best writers and most influential people in history it really is curious to think what would happen if he had a sister. Obviously it is completely hypothetical to consider, and more in theory. If Shakespear thought like a girl, how would his poems, plays, and stories be different?

What if Shakespeare had a Sister?
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln set a great example by having an event celebrating women writers. Yet it is still sad to think that it is necessary to have a "Women's History Month" and "Women's Week". I mean after all we don't have a "Men's History Month"'; our history is in general dedicated to men and this makes that just that much more obvious.
