Quotation[edit]

The altered quotation is found, both on the web and in print, in both versions -- "seldom" and "rarely." I haven't tracked down either original quotation -- but suspect she actually said/wrote both versions in different venues. Can you think of any reason to prefer either version over the other? Comments welcome. WBardwin 07:46, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it because the seldom version is the one I have printed on my bumper sticker that is copyrighted by her. It says "copyright Laurel Thatcher Ulrich 2004" underneath the quote. Also, I took a look around at all the web sites actually written by her and it says "seldom". Pschemp 15:04, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Notable Women?"[edit]

Ulrich herself says that her original article was actually about Purtian funeral servants, not about notable women... see this lecture. I will change this unless there are objections... Klippin (talk) 04:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

and many other notable women in American and w[edit]

That's the end of the 2nd paragraph, just above the contents. Would someone please fix this? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 14:27, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes in lead[edit]

A sentence in the lead, which was added in 2006 and tagged CN in 2016, read:

Her approach to history has been described as a tribute to "the silent work of ordinary people"—an approach that, in her words, aims to "show the interconnection between public events and private experience."

After much searching, I found a ref for "the silent work of ordinary people" that predated when it was added to the article. All sources I could find for the second quote were written after it was added to Wikipedia, so I removed that part of the sentence. It's possible that "show the interconnection between public events and private experience" is from one of her books, but Google Books didn't find it. Schazjmd (talk) 22:13, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
