    This course was both enlightening and inspiring. It shed light on how women’s contributions are often overlooked in mainstream historical narratives, and showed creative ways to reframe the past through women-centered tours. The examples were engaging, the presentation was passionate, and the storytelling was powerful. I especially appreciated how it connected history to lived experiences, making it feel relevant and personal. A must-watch for anyone interested in gender studies, history, or cultural tourism.
