Where is the main woman who changed history the most, Marie Curie? If any woman changed the history of the entire world she did!

Why would a female tattoo artist inspire me? Why would any tattoo artist inspire me?

#9. Ellen O’Neal was a professional skate boarder. How about checking out Barbara Anne Scott. Canada’s sweetheart.

Great to see some different women for a change - who did great things in history!

Some historic names were left out including Rosa Parks, Florence Nightingale, Mother Teresa, Anne Frank. the list is endless. These women were selfless.

Kathy Bardsley, did you not notice the many varied colors and races of all these people?

lawavems, It is good that have that confidence and knowledge, but there are still many others who still need to look to historical examples for inspiration.
Janet Dawn Baker
You should have included the dates for all of them (not just some)
Kathy Bardsley
doltondani, I was wondering that as well, so many great women of color who were first and made a big impact in the world

I liked this a couple I had never heard of before but this is educational and like I've always said I learn something new everyday.
Jackie Walker
Never heard of most. Enjoyed learning about the others.

Women were often put down and left out. They were paid less for the same work, laws didn't stand up for them, and they had to behave in ways society looked askance at. I'm glad some recognition is coming their way.

lawavems, how is the presentation degrading?. It is simply factual. Your beliefs are held by many, no need to burn your bra my dear. Unfortunately looking at how history has changed in a short time is interesting. Your beliefs, blah, blah, blah, are not.

lawavems, I am looking forward to the day when there isn't a headline saying "the first" woman."
