Hello all!

In honor of women's history month I am intent on making a series of videos talking about specifically lesser-known great women throughout history (Joan of Arc is to women's history what Dr. King is to black history month. A great person, but used a LOT)

Sooo... any ideas? Right now I have Cheng I Sao, Ya Asentewa, and Boudicca.

I'm guessing I should probably put some non-violent women in there huh..

Some I can think of:

Clara Barton, Florence Chadwick, Florence Nightingale, Juliette Magil Kinzie Gordon (aka) Juliette Low , Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley (aka) Molly Pitcher

Queen Zenobia of Palmyra maybe? She is one of my inspirations.:)

The first 2 that come to my mind are Abigail Adams, and Rosa Parks.

Deaf-blind pioneer Helen Keller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller)

Victorian heroine who single-handedly rowed out in stormy Northumbrian seas to save sailors in distress Grace Darling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Darling)

Pioneer in Chemistry and physics Marie Curie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_curie)

One of the most important sculptors of the 20th century Barbara Hepworth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Hepworth)

And, a real personal heroine of mine: Rosalind Franklin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalind_Franklin), the one who did the hard work before Watson and Crick took the credit in the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA
