#The Wikipedia article "Status of Women" redirects to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_of_Women Women's history].  That article is filled with biased, unreferenced statements like, "Women are usually excluded [from history] and, when mentioned, are usually portrayed in sex-stereotypical roles, such as wives, mothers, daughters and mistresses."
