America's History of Eugenics

Since recorded history, women only occupy around 0.5 % of recorded history when they make up 50% of the population. History of females should be placed back into the historical narrative; heroines should be recorded and not hidden from society like a Scarlet Letter. This demonstrates there is a gap in history written about women.

Sooooo, I plan on changing that one book at a time and one podcast at a time. I will be very direct, not sugarcoating anything, and provide primary and secondary sources to prove that these historical events occurred. Don't worry, I will talk about men too.
