LEADERS AND ACTIVISTS

Wyoming’s ‘Petticoat’ Posse

A century ago, Jackson, Wyoming, a small frontier town of around 300, was a
poster child for what economists call a tragedy of the commons. With laws going
unenforced and taxes and fines unpaid, the town’s coffers were drying up while
its streets were swimming in mud and garbage. In need of a Wyatt Earp figure who
could put a stop to the lawlessness and decline, the errant town stumbled on a
radical but extremely successful solution to its problems: female rule.

Boer War Crusader

The death toll in the British concentration camps during the Second Boer War in
South Africa would have been much higher if not for the fearless work of Emily
Hobhouse. When she heard about the horrible conditions of the camps, which
housed Boer women and children, she began raising money and traveled to South
Africa to visit the sites. After her visit, she delivered a report to
Parliament, which resulted in improved conditions at the camps saving thousands
of lives.

The Women Behind the Montgomery Bus Boycott

Not all political or social revolutions start with the firing of shots, with a
formal declaration, or even taking to the streets. Sometimes they start ... with
a strongly worded letter. On May 21, 1954, Jo Ann Gibson Robinson, an English
professor at Alabama State College wrote such a letter to the mayor of
Montgomery, Alabama, an act that precipitated one of the most remarkable
protests in history.

ARTISTS AND REBELS

An American Lesbian in Paris

Living openly as a lesbian in the 1920s is one thing, but Natalie Clifford
Barney also ruled the literary scene in Paris. She wrote a book of romantic
poems called Quelques Portraits-Sonnets de Femmes, making her the first woman
since the ancient Greek poet Sappho to write candidly about loving women —
especially wild women. She lived as she pleased, hosted literary salons for 60
years and founded a women’s academy. And she became a champion of gay and
women’s rights, simply by her refusal to do one thing…

Dueling Julie

Julie d’Aubigny once defeated three men in a duel after kissing a woman on the
dance floor — all while dressed as a man. This opera star and famously
rebellious romancer seduced numerous women and lived an incredibly modern life
for someone alive in the 17th century. Intrigued?

Scandalizing Victorian England

Mary Elizabeth Braddon didn’t just go for the sensational in her work — though
she did pioneer the “sensation novel” with Lady Audley’s Secret, a wildly
popular Victorian novel of murder and mayhem in polite society. She also led a
sensational life, marked by a decades-long affair with her publisher … who was
already married. Lady Audley’s Secret, the Fifty Shades of its day, went
straight for the jugular of Victorian mores with its tale of murder, bigamy and
illegitimacy.

ENTREPRENEURS AND BUSINESSWOMEN

The Woman Who Made Macy’s

Most Americans can’t remember a Thanksgiving that did not begin with the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. The parade has become synonymous with
the department store chain, but what really made Macy’s reputation as the
“World’s Largest Store” was not an it, but a she. Before Margaret Getchell first
showed up as a cashier, R.H. Macy & Co. mostly sold ribbons, lace and related
accessories; under her visionary influence, it would become a full-fledged
modern department store, the first of its kind in America.

Dona Antónia’s Daring Plan

To found and run a business as a woman in early 19th-century Europe was to defy
some serious odds. To run an alcohol business required a rare audacity. At a
time when Portugal’s wine industry was on the brink of extinction, Antónia
Ferreira learned all there was to know about the sector and rebuilt it, helping
drive a wave of regeneration that salvaged the entire region’s economy.

The Woman Behind Mercedes-Benz

In 1888, a young German woman, Bertha Benz, prepared to embark on a historic
drive. Benz’s husband, Carl, was a skilled mechanic, not to mention the father
of the modern automobile, but it was Bertha’s moral and financial support that
were essential to his cars hitting the road. Carl was a perfectionist and didn’t
believe his car-in-progress could yet cover long distances, so Benz decided she
would test that assumption by driving 65 miles to visit her mother in a
remarkable journey that changed the course of automotive history.

SCHOLARS AND EXPLORERS

The Nazi Codebreaker

Joan Clarke was a brilliant logic and mathematics talent whose name would have
been lost to history if it wasn’t for World War II. She worked alongside Alan
Turing to find the solution that cracked the Enigma Nazi code that broke open
the war in the Allies’ favor, giving them direct operational access to
over-the-air communications. More people now know the name of Joan Clarke after
Keira Knightley portrayed her in the movie The Imitation Game but her amazing
life and contribution to peace around the world deserves more than 120 minutes
of our time.

Early Arctic Explorer

If you thought self-isolating in your apartment or house was bad, try being
stuck alone on Wrangel Island, north of Siberia. Cook and seamstress Ada
Blackjack was the sole survivor of an attempt to claim the island for the
British Empire. After three of her expedition partners abandoned the island in
an effort to reach Siberia, she was left to care for the last member of their
group, who was sick with scurvy. He died six months later, and she survived for
two more months, with no one but a cat for company, before she was rescued.

Trailblazing Medical Scholar

The first Black woman to earn a medical degree in America, Dr. Rebecca Lee
Crumpler published A Book of Medical Discourses: In Two Parts, a text that
democratized medical care, making knowledge accessible to doctors and caregivers
alike. Her treatise was the product of years of work treating recently freed
former slaves and disadvantaged women in the wake of the Civil War.
