Here are just four of 300 women who broke gender barriers. I've written about them and 296 other women in all areas of life and places in the world who fought gender barriers to follow their dreams.
Their lives have been carefully researched to offer to today's women a reminder of what their sisters went through as well as how we women still have to battle to realize our full potential.
- Augusta Ada King (1815-1852)The first person to recognize that the Charles Babbage computer had other applications beyond mathematical calculations.
- Mary Elizabeth Anderson (1866-1953) invented the windshield wiper.
- Martha Beatrice Webb (1858-1943) was the economist who coined the term "collective bargaining."
- Conception Arnel Ponte (1820-1893) First woman to attend a Spanish University IF she wore men's clothing. She became a lawyer and journalist.
These 300 women refused to submit to limitations of being women and became:
- Inventors
- Activists
- Scientists
- Doctors, Lawyers
- Mountain climbers
- Athletes
- Historians
- Writers,
- "Bad ass" women and more.
