Every day since early July,Tiffany Wong has been painting a small watercolor of one woman and then sharing the printing on the Internet,providing background information about each woman.Wong started the project to give more people a chance to learn about the different roles of famous women in history,"We don't really get to learn about them in our school as much," Wong said."I wanted to make the women's history more available for people so that they wouldn't have to do the research and they wouldn't forget their achievements."
Wong's interest in the women's history started young.As a child in California,she read books about women,including scientist Barbara McClintock,doctor Elizabeth Blackwell and other outstanding women.
The idea to develop her own women's history project was inspired in part by a free course through Harvard X,Harvard University's developer of online courses.Wong has worked there for the past five years after learning international education policy from the university.The Schlesinger Library provided another inspiration for Wong.In 2018,she visited the library's 75th anniversary exhibit,which told the stories of women through 75 documents and objects.
As an artist since childhood,Wong decided her project would include both paintings and research about the women."The written part of the post consumes energy and brain and often takes longer than the painting," Wong said.Whenever possible,she used original sources and quotes,often referring to papers and other documents.
None of the paintings includes the facial features of the women,which is a painting style that makes the paintings easier to do,while giving people an opportunity to see themselves in the image."I wanted something open," Wong said. "I wanted people to feel like they could also be these people."
Her subjects occasionally notice her posts.In February,Wong wrote about the career of Merritt Moore,a physicist and dancer with an undergraduate degree from Harvard.Moore share the post with her own followers and left a comment for Wong."Wong!I'm so touched- thank you!Love this! ! !" Moore wrote.

1.When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically(魔術(shù)般) appear.
All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch(門廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

(3)Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B.It has been driven out of the market.
C.Its service is getting poor.
D.It is forbidden by law.
