  • Half of these people were not well behaved!

  • @brandie7654 Hi. NONE of these people were "well-behaved." That was the entire point, as explained in the introduction.

  • Still one of my favorite vids on YouTube!

  • I enjoyed this...thank you

  • Great Video.

  • JUST SO VERY BRILLIANT !! Well done...20*s if I could...

  • TIMELESS :)

    (Re-watching some of my fav vids)

  • STOP WHINING and get back to the kitchen!

  • one of the best videos on youtube.

  • Thank you so very much......so very, very much.

  • On blacks, immigrants and indigents:

    "...human weeds,' 'reckless breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born." Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people

  • Spokenlife, Please do your research on Margaret Sanger!!!!!! If you're gonna put her on there, you might as well put Hitler also. They pretty much had the same ideology.

  • "We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

    ~Margaret Sanger

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful & very moving positive statement.

    A much needed expression of appreciation & gratitude for principled, thinking women who fight for freedom. (Good men are equally deserving of respect & admiration; character is more valuable than looks/money).

    Anyone who demands obedience to their mundane standards has an agenda. "Well behaved" really means "oppressed" & "controlled". I would be a bad person were I not my true, caring, & nonjudgemental self following my own path, freely.

    Bravo!

  • What a dick pull and a load of crap. women belong in the kitchen

  • Well behaved anyone never has trouble, but when there is trouble a man is called, to defend and protect... only because his woman is sacred. remember this.

  • Why don't YOU think about THIS, Spokenlife:

    My grandmother raised five children on the Lower East Side, in a cold-water flat, during the Depression, worked, cooked, kept a home--and kicked ass when necessary--but didn't change history.

    She WAS history.

    Women who raise children, who embrace MOTHERHOOD, are the bedrocks of the community, nay, our civilization. Without them, we don't exist.

    Your demeaning insinuation that they are somehow not as important is truly offensive.

  • It wasn't meant to disparage housewives--it was meant to encourage all women of sorts to kick ass when necessary. Everyone, humble housewives included, in the depths of their heart would like to make contributions to history. (Who doesn't?) FYI, the saying "well-behaved women don't make history" was made during the growth of feminism, to counter Victorian-style pressures on women to be "seen but not heard". So chill.

  • I think the point is that these women all made history and all took risks or suffered criticism or were attacked. Of course not all of these women made the same contribution to man or womankind. It's just that they all rocked the boat when most women obeyed at being told to sit down and shut up.

  • Jane Fonda? Margaret Sanger? These are not in the same catigory as Mae West, Rosa Parks, Molly Pitcher, Billie Holliday and so on.

  • This is truly something for not only woman but man to think about! JUST WATCH IT YOU WILL LOVE IT!

  • Gloria Steinem

    Eva Peron

    Jane Fonda

    Margaret Sanger???

    WTF

    you can't actually lump all women together, some of those women were eugenicists.

  • Not only that, Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda don't particularly think very fondly of men. Hanoi Jane put her man in his proper place, two feet behind her. You ever notice them anywhere together? He is always at least two feet behind her.

    Margaret Sanger wanted to abort the blacks, the immigrants, and other "undesirables" in order to clean up the race.

    Compare them with Rosa Parks?! I don't think so!

  • The point was that these women caused us to THINK.

    I very much like that Margaret Sanger helped start Planned Parenthood! I don't like her views on eugenics. One doesn't have to like every thought they had.

    There are many men that put women in their place too and don't really like them....in response to Steinhem and Fonda. All make us think!

    Rosa Parks stood her ground. Made us think!

  • It's true, you don't necessarily have to throw out everything someone said if their legacy also contains a lot of good ideas. And as far as Sanger goes, a few of her comments are taken horribly out of context and used to promote an extremely distorted, damaging idea of her, and when the facts don't get checked and we accept arguments like that - about anyone - we run the risk of ignoring exactly what a person stood for in favor of lies.

  • Margaret Sanger?

    Wtf?

  • This was a beautiful video but I couldn't help but to think that the title "Well-Behaved Women" applied to these women at all.Think about it.Most of them made controversy and fought against injustices and etc whereas they could've just sat their and went along with the situation like a so-called "well-behaved woman" but they realized that doing so wouldn't bring the needed changes.

    It was still a beautiful video recognizing some of those that made a difference.

  • that was a beautiful video

  • Most of these women came from the South. Just as most of the people who fight effectively for freedom. Why is this true? When yankees come here, we notice that they do not recognize bondage. Ghettos are slave quarters. schools with numbers instead of names are Jim crow institutions, and color tint prejudice is a sign of slave mentality. The fight is still on.

  • As inspiring as your comment is, I'm having trouble figuring out what it has to do with this video. You managed to turn a fact that is far from prominent here into a completely unrelated argument.

  • I have much respect for women, "I came from a woman, got my name from a woman,was raised by a women". Despite all the bs in politics i would never vote for Hillary,she is the leader of a witchcraft cult, has attended builderberg meetings,supports Nafta & has a track record w/the Bushes and much more that will not thrust our country forward.Oboma is the only canditate w/his heart truely in the right place, it is not whom you associate w/ but where your heart is.

  • Obama kills babies.

  • I loved it.. nothing was wrong with it.. you made you point very clear.. the music is amazing...Thank you for recognizing the woman who made that change

    Thank you so much

  • what about marie curie? rosa parks? how about me? how about you? give everyone credit. not all men are mean faggots okey dokey. don't play the victim, learn how to fight, demand respect, speak your mind. respect all live, go vegan peace all

  • Can you tell me Who's the muisc?

  • it tells you right in the beginning of the video

  • WOW! The other day, my cousin, a college student, said I needed to read something like: "just because you have a vagina, doesn't mean you have to vote for a woman". She said it was a Feminist writing. What are they teaching in college, I wonder, because that attitude is definitely not feminist! I was disgusted. But, my mom says that the hardest thing to do is to get a woman to vote for a woman. It was refreshing to see your video. I wish all young women knew their heritage. Thank you.

  • Hattie McDaniel was asked how did she feel about always playing a maid. "I would rather play one than be one."

  • I rather play a maid for $700 a week, than be onr for $7

  • amen to that clarabow25

  • ya know, if that was an older painting the point may have been that the lady posing for it was not well behaved, hence she was imortalized on canvas. im just sayin....

  • None of these women would have been in the painting. None of these shown were well behaved women.

  • I don't like the way it is typed out like that.

  • Why Hillary Clinton?

    She's always been well behaved.

    (Well, there was that little blurb about a "Vince" guy)

  • wow, i love this video. it really spoke to me. you should make another one.

  • Great to add Mary Magdelene. :)

  • this is awsome i really liked it alot i think it is amazign and true well behaved women dont make history lol or they make it for being to well behaved but ohh well LOL:)

  • Beautiful ♥

  • What about Katharine Hepburn? Her life and her career was centered around making people think

  • good choices & great theme (but wish you had sped up the beginning so we didn't have to wait till you typed out each letter one by one.....)

  • Thanks. I actually did that on purpose so people wouldn't skirt over it; they'd really read it and have time to think about it. Thanks for commenting.

  • How about Janis Joplin?

  • GOOD ONE!!!

  • "Well behaved women never make history"

    And why should they? You can only make history by changing it, they do nothing to change it.

    Nice music btw.

  • nice music what's the title of it?

  • Hey, thanks for watching. The music info is in the first frame.

  • thankx :D

  • This is beautiful - the wonderful thing is there is so many women you could add - Fanny Kemble, Mary the mother of Jesus. Those are two of my suggestions. God bless. Good job Spokenlife!

  • I love this video. This video shows me that women are just as capable of standing thier ground as men are.

  • The quote from the flawless woman int he portrait was bringing light to fact that women must stand up for things they believe in. When you conform to society than you are labled wellbehaved and dont have the guts to make a difference. All of the women that stood up for something and made history rebelled against the social norm. Being a powerful female is not just sitting around looking pretty.

  • Ain't it the truth!

  • Wonderful! Perfectly said!! Thanks!!

  • Paris Hilton is not very well-behaved!....Shows you the folly of your bumper-sticker credo.

  • Well, somebody had to miss the point.

  • men hate it when women out-do them at everything. so they try to tear them down every way possible. it's like the dumb bully who beats up the smart kids because he's dumb. so typical.

  • Don't get me wrong. I think Vietnam was wrong and Iraq too. I just think fucking over POWs is rather evil. After all, they're just soldiers. It's the politicians (on both sides) that deserve beatings, not their minions.

  • Jane Fonda went to a N. Vietnamese prison camp. The American POWs tried slipping their SS#s to her on scraps of paper (so their loved ones would know they were alive). Jane handed the scraps to prison guards. The POWs were beaten.

  • That's a lie.

  • That's not what the vets say. Prove them wrong.

  • A vet THAT WAS THERE, said it wasn't so, and no he's no fan of jane fonda

  • JANE FONDA?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!

    she was not a hero

    is not a hero

    and never will be a hero.

  • Never, EVER said she was a hero. This video was not about heros.

  • A beautiful poetry, your presentation.

    Makes men think too. They really should think more.

    thanks.

  • I concur!

  • You'll find in time that your parents, although maybe a bit too staunch, are more right than you think. You be careful. This is an invitation to disaster.

  • This is beautiful. Thank you for creating it and posting it here for all of us to enjoy. It made me think...

  • Actually I have researched Eva Peron for over 12 years & she more than deserves to be on the list & the Webber musical is biased/one-sided. Scholars/historians who have spent years, in some instances decades researching her like Maryssa Navarro, Joseph Page, Robert Crassweller, JM Taylor & they paint a totally different picture. Wonder why??

  • CONT: Just for the record, Eva's foundation built several THOUSAND establishments; schools/hospitals/ homes/shelters for runaway girls & unwed mothers/vacation retreats & sent food/medicine/blood plasma/clothing to other countries like Isreal, Turkey, US. Thru her thousands who years prior suffered from malnutrition/illness finally received first aid. All within 6 short years. There is more to Evita than the opposition/yellow journalism lead many to believe.

  • tabugirl is right on. Eva is far more of a complex character than the Webber musical makes her out to be

    On a completely different note how could you NOT include Elizabeth I?

  • I loved this and plan on passing this on to others.

    I'd love to make a suggestion of a woman who didn't exactly behave as a woman was expected at that time: Maria Mitchell. Educated as a boy, became an astronomer, was once a librarian, discovered a comet, first person appointed to the faculty at Vassar (found out she didn't make as much as the male faculty and demanded a raise-something that is still frowned upon to this day!).

  • "The talk of sheltering woman from the fierce storms of life is the sheerest mockery, for they beat on her from every point of the compass, just as they do on man, and with more fatal results... Such are the facts in human experience, the responsibilities of individual sovereignty. Rich and poor, intelligent and ignorant, wise and foolish, virtuous and vicious, man and woman; it is ever the same, each soul must depend wholly on itself."- Elizabeth Cady Stanton, "The Solitude of Self"

  • This is why real Christians never make history

  • Right on!

  • still

  • great video. but what does ysabellacoward has to do with these remarkable women??? absolutely NOTHING.

  • Mother Theresa.

    "Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. "

  • I was clueless on SOME of these women. Thanks for putting up information about how to find out more. I did notice, most of these women have made others in their life uncomfortable. Inspiring to help me make a few people I know that really need to sqirm! Here I go!

  • One of the most painf--zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zz

  • WAKE UP!

  • Fantastic video and commentary, Robin...but don't leave yourself out...you've made many of us THINK and inspired us to try to be better behaved women. Loved it!

  • This is just lovely!

  • Hey, everybody. I've gotten so many great suggestions for great women, I think I'll let a few more add up and make a video including them. Thank you all so very much!

  • Awesome!

  • 5 stars...lovely...newt

  • lovely & you made me THINK -

    of other ordinary woman who've done extraordinary things-

    Susan B. Anthony helped women get to vote...:)

    Peace

  • Ah, another to add to the list. Thank you very much!

  • Thank you so very much for making this video. 5 stars!!~Moonchime

  • Wow, this is amazing! Thank you for posting it up and alowing us woman to see oursleves as a whole! Collectively that is stunning! Thank you for this very powerful and thought provoking Video! I will find a place to add it on my page somehow. Have a wonderful weekend! His autumnrain, becca @-->----

  • Your name should be on there :D

  • Great video, i have been busy with my health lately hope you are doing well I have been watching. Take care, and ignore these mean idiots!!

  • Thanks for sharing this .. well done.. this is awesome.

  • Ew, not Hillary! She certainly doesn't make the world a better place.

    Nice video! :) You're a great person!

  • Are you suffering from a mental illness, Lunarvx? How about you do your homework on Hillary's 1993 health care proposal plan and get back to me, preferably after you've taken your daily meds.

  • well if Bill had n ot sent her up hill, and the repubs had left her alone, I would not be without insurance,and be paying for my Chemo, I will going to spain for the radiation treatment, over 1 month, they want 47,000 for it here in Georgia, and yes I had Insurance, but at renewal we were turned down for the cancer. So yers bring hillary on I am not crazy about her but she has the experience.

  • Not so much about making it a better place. The point is, has she made anyone THINK? Everyone's got to make their own decisions about what a well-behaved woman is. Lots of people don't think Margaret Sanger made it a better place. It's up to your own heart.

  • This made me sad and think too!

  • Yeah, sometimes a vides screams to be a "faverite" becuase you know you'll want to revisit and think about. Well done.

  • Very beautiful...

    Both the message and the music. Thanks for this video.

  • Women like you make the world better.

  • Fantastic how you put this togeather and made us all think !_! DO you know what youve done .Made a lot of People who are watching this THINK>:)

  • Very Nice!!!!

  • This is a great video! If one person on this earth THINKS because of me, my life will not have been wasted.

  • This is truly inspiring and thought provoking..Thank YOU!

  • Thank you for that wonderful music!

  • Excellent video,...may I  sugest Amelia Earhart and Mother Teresa?

  • Yes, I'll add them to the list in the details.

  • Great job on this Robin. It was wonderful and I'm happy to know that neither one of us is very well-behaved...heheh What music was this???

  • Hey, thanks Raven. The music is credited in the first frame. I found it yesterday. Isn't it beautiful?

  • By golly it is. I'm so sorry. I must have looked away for a split second at the beginning to pick up my coffee! Yes, it IS wonderful. I'm going to check it out. I have favorited this video and I'm going to read more about some of these women who I've never heard about. HUGS

  • 5/5 & Fav'd! This is why I'm a subscriber. The curtain went up and out poured all this beauty and pensive music. Great performance. PS. There wouldn't be time to list all the important women who have made people think and made the world a better place. Bravo.

  • This is extremely powerful! Thank you!! PEACE!!!!

  • Wunderbar gemacht!Die Bilder harmonieren sehr gut mit der Musik.

  • thank u for making me think! im gonna share this with my friends.

  • Beautiful, thoughtful, and inspirational. And you made us read, and that's most beautiful. And you made us think.

  • sooo glad to have fnd your channel...thanks for another awesome video!

  • Fantastic, my sister!

  • beautifully done and the music was delightful. I does make you wonder if you are a "well-behaved woman."

  • Well, I don't know. But I know that in all of these cases, SOMEONE considered these women to be badly behaved. I guess we have to decide for ourselves ... and about ourselves.

  • Thank you for posting this video, it made me really think. Very inspirational.

  • how moving! loved it!

  • Breathtaking, beautiful and very well done, thank you.

  • Wow....that really inspired me! Makes me proud to be a woman as well! Thank you for putting this up :)

  • You Forgot a very Important woman in History "Eleanor Roosevelt" She was Pretty Much acting President of the united states for the last year or two of her Husbands term

  • I was counting on folks filling in holes that I left when my brain shut off. Thank you! And I didn't know that. Off to do some research!

  • Whenever somebody shares another woman who fits this video, I will list her in the details. Thank you!

  • is that why Elizabeth I isn't in there?

  • Absolutely beautiful and thought-provoking.

  • Beautiful....THank You...

  • Awesome...simply awesome. hugs, Chris

  • Wow. If people glean the Lord from my life, then it his Him who makes them think; not anything I did. Great vid, Mrs. Spokenlife

  • And he uses people everyday to get his messages out. When you think about it, when someone acts on behalf of someone else, especially, they are most certainly passing on something He wants us to know. Thanks for commenting.

  • Beautiful. Now you got me thinking... and I don't want to be well-behaved anymore.

  • Robin, this is beautiful! It makes me proud to be a woman and to come from a long line of women who stood their grounds and born up under persecution. My Grandmother, Great Aunt and Mother. They made me strong...the woman I am today! Thank you for reminding me!

    Peace&Hugs!~Mimi~

  • Excellent comment. One I have to remember myself. Thanks.

  • Indeed... A perfect video!

    Katalyzt
