Women who should have a blue plaque?

Just rushing to help the dc with her homework at the end of half term. Wise feminist MNers, which wonderful women are still missing a well-deserved blue plaque (on googling it seems English Heritage filled a number of gaping holes a few years ago)?

I genuinely have no idea who has one.

Looks like Barbara Castle doesn’t have one - you can check on English Heritage website here

I dont think Dorothy Lawrence has one. She probably should.

That page just seems to be about London blue plaques, which may explain some of the omissions. I wonder if there's a list of the various similar schemes around the country?
