... Thessalonika. This was the breadth of Alexander's influence on hundreds of different cultures around the world.

Besides his chief work, A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40), he wrote Political Discourses (1752), The Natural History of Religion (1755), and a History of England (1754-62) that was, despite errors of fact, the standard work for many years.

... complete withdrawal from her commitment to the poorer classes. My research indicates that this is not the case; in fact, by all accounts was a brave crusader who recognized freedom and choice in a woman's reproductive life as vital to the issue of the liberation of women as a gender. Moreover, after years of being blocked by opposition, Sanger also recognized the need to shift political strategies in order to keep the movement alive. Unfortunately, misjudgments made by her in this area have left 's legacy open to criticism. In this paper, I would like to explore 's life and career as well as become aware of some of the missteps that she made and how they refle ...
