My Research Project

My research project is on successful women of classical times and how the women affect their particular civilization. In the classical period of ancient history, most civilizations were male dominated. These patriarchal societies left little room for achievements of ancient women. I'm researching mainly the women that were able to fill these little spaces of room and what the women had to do to become successful which, for me, is very inspiring and interesting.
My topic is important because since the classical period civilizations were male-dominated, it's hard to recognize female efforts focussed on being successful and significant. Not only that, but to see how their successes have impacted modern lives is also important.
This week I'm going to focus on my annotated bibliographies and try to revise them into complete, formal, and informative bibliographies. If I can do this then hopefully it'll help me to form my rough draft and later on, I'll have an even better final draft. When I first did my bibliographies, I had trouble on filling out all of the requirements of the annotated bibliographies and later I used some about.com articles because they were fast, easy, and informative, but now I know they were not reliable sources so I need to go back and find more reliable sources. Now that I've seen Dr. D's presentation I also need to go back and do more research on my sources. And then, the very last thing I have to do is find a primary source or two and do my annotated bibliography right this time.
