For this ds106 assignment, we were to use either http://www.classtools.net/twister/ to create a fake Twitter or https://www.classtools.net/FB/home-page to create fake facebook for a historical figure. But what we created had to be coherent with the persons background and what it might have meant for that person to use either facebook or twitter.

Everyone meet Marianne North a self-made naturalist between 1871-1885 traveled to 17 countries within 6 continents without escorts or a man. She used oil paint to depict plants in their natural habitat instead of picking them and pressing them. She also wrote about how she detested many social norms that were present in her day. Now more on why I love her so much, as an environmentalist and botanist I always hear the word he, him, MEN. When my friend was doing an art paper on her and told me about her I instantly fell in love. I had a kick-butt woman who loved plants as a role model SHE was and is such an influential person in my life. I’ve read some of her passages in “Recollections of a happy life”  https://archive.org/details/recollectionsofh01nortuoft/page/n3 vol 1 that was written by Marieann North and published by her sister. For a paper, so I tried to portray her the best I could.
