Protests Timeline

Here is a very helpful timeline from the Guardian allowing you to keep track of the protest movement across the Middle East and North Africa, beginning with the death of Mohammed Bouazzi in Tunisia on 17 December. The vegetable seller set fire to himself after police confiscated his stall. The subsequent riots, spread by social networking sites, led to the overthrow of the Tunisian government and encouraged other groups to protest across the region.

Women in History Timeline

A great timeline here of important developments for women in Britain from 1900 to 2006. From Radio 4's Woman's Hour, it gives an audio commentary on each decade. Which ones do you think were the most important? The presenter of Woman's Hour Jenni Murray writes an article here to accompany the series about her own family's experiences alongside the events and ends with a discussion of feminism today, finishing with the quotation,"I myself have never been able to find out precisely what a feminist is. I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat"!
