A Slogan That Escaped the Library
Have you ever wondered how a line buried in a 1976 scholarly article about Puritan funeral sermons ended up on Taylor Swift's T-shirt? When Harvard historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich wrote "Well-behaved women seldom make history," she was analyzing how virtuous colonial women-the "hidden ones," as Cotton Mather called them-lived pious lives hoping for heavenly rewards rather than earthly recognition. History forgot them entirely. But her observation escaped academic confines, appearing on everything from bumper stickers to Michelle Obama's speeches. The slogan's journey began quietly when journalist Kay Mills used it as an epigraph in 1995, then exploded after Jill Portugal printed it on T-shirts in 1996. Today, it's embraced by political activists and Sweet Potato Queens alike, computer scientists and nursing home coordinators. Its ambiguity fuels its appeal-some see a call for rebellion, others a celebration that bad girls have more fun. This accidental fame gave Ulrich unique insights: while some women contemplated feminism's demise, others were just discovering it. The phrase resonates because it plays into stereotypes about female invisibility and decorum, yet its widespread adoption proves its central point-women who challenge conventions are the ones remembered.
