The Bozo chronicle

While I was sitting at the breakfast table with my roommate Megan, she was reading the newspaper, while I was drinking my apple juice. I usually just read the comics, but I saw a picture of a woman with her dog. Being the avid dog lover that I am, I was intrigued, so I decided to read it. The article was about a woman Iditarod contestant that finished in 21st place out of 58. Which I think is something very impressive. It made me start thinking about the underlying theme of women in this class, and how in Lysistrata the women were ahead of their time. This woman, who competed with 9 other women, and ranked 21st in a 'mans sport' is also ahead of her time. Women like the ones in Lysistrata are the ones that paved the way for us today, standing up for what they believed in and holding their own in a man's society. Although Lysistrata is comical, it also shows that women can do anything they put their minds to, even compete in the Iditarod.
