Just had a post pop up on my Facebook about Harriet Tubman. She sounded like an amazing women. A slave in the US who escapes and helped many others to do the same.

I feel like there's a lot of amazing women out there I should know more about. Can you please share if you know some?

Ada Lovelace
The women from Hidden Figures (fab book & movie)
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Mary Anning
There are some great books about incredible women like Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, which gives you a brief history & you can then explore more.

Difficult Women is a good book to help your question.

Mary Wollestonecraft.
