Who are your favourite women throughout history?

[NotTheDebtDoctorWithTheHungryScalpel]

I'm back to part time home schooling 14yo dd, I'm supporting her with the curriculum, but she likes a project to get on with as well when she's in hospital, so wants to write a book about women throughout history (just for herself).

I'm going to make a list for her to get on with, and she has a few ideas of her own as well, but is there anyone you find inspiring, maybe someone who isn't heard about a lot?

Elizabeth Fry. She might be very well known though. The houses at my junior school were:

Fry (yellow house points bits of cardboard.)
Nightingale (pink cardboard tickets)
Shaftesbury (green)
Wilberforce (blue)

I was a Nightingale but I thought Fry was more interesting. The other two were men, so not applicable here.

Hildegard of Bingen is a pretty fascinating character - basically a polymath, centuries ahead of her time in many ways.

Margery Kempe, one of the earliest individuals whose autobiography survives.

Phillis Wheatley, especially if she's studied legacies of empire and colonialism.

And for something a bit different, Ching Shih the pirate 😁

Hester Stanthope. Described by Lord Byron as, "That most dangerous thing, a female wit."

I'm going to look all of them myself now. I kind of remember Margery Kempe but I hadn't heard of the others. In a sort of similar vein to Margery Kempe, I have always thought Dorothy Wordsworth was done badly wrong by her brother. He ripped off all her stuff, basically, in my opinion.
