Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, a Pulitzer winning historian, famously wrote \u201cWell behaved women seldom make history\u201d - meaning, it\u2019s the women who have shaken things up and been assertive of what they want in life - often at risk of being labeled a \u201cbitch\u201d - who have gone on to lead memorable lives.
