Birth control - Webster Vs Connecticut 1963
(Not the last 100 years. Also, visit the Comstock laws; it'll make your hair stand up! )

May I suggest you write what you think honestly, rather than what you *think* the prof wants to hear. I can promise you that the prof will see though a BS paper in a minute and will *not* be impressed.

The fact that the college/university *used* to be an all woman's collage is meaningless. The prof is looking for evidence of your ability to write; to write well and to write with pursuation. If you use this historic fact as any type of an excuse, it won't go well for you - now or in your educational future. Stick to the assignment.

I think the assignment is a great exercise for a rhetoric paper. It's perfect for a first paper because there isn't a need for a lot of research; people already have their minds made up by the time they are in college - even if they are too *politically correct* to admit what they think on paper.

I wish you well, and look forward to hearing about how it goes.

Peace!
