March is women's history month. Let us commemorate the great accomplishments our female ancestors have achieved and made this world a little better for women world wide.

Be it in the field of science or just leading a rebellion to protects women's rights. Thanks.

Niki has been making a list. Although some, like the aforementioned Curie, have dropped into the bit bucket.

Edit: My bad. Curie is still on the list in the form of the actress who played her in a movie, but like some others, she will soon drop off the list. This is assuming the girl returns to continue the list.

Lucy Burns
Quote:
Under orders from W. H. Whittaker, superintendent of the Occoquan Workhouse, as many as forty guards with clubs went on a rampage, brutalizing thirty-three jailed suffragists. They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above her head, and left her there for the night. They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her head against an iron bed, and knocked her out cold. Her cellmate Alice Cosu, who believed Mrs. Lewis to be dead, suffered a heart attack. According to affidavits, other women were grabbed, dragged, beaten, choked, slammed, pinched, twisted, and kicked. (source: Barbara Leaming, Katherine Hepburn (New York: Crown Publishers, 1995), 182.)



Quote:
Alice Paul led the more radical wing of those who were working for women's suffrage in 1917. Paul had taken part in more militant suffrage activity in England, including hunger strikes that were met with imprisonment and brutal force-feeding methods. She believed that by bringing such militant tactics to America, the public's sympathy would be turned towards those who protested for woman suffrage, and the vote for women would be won, finally, after seven decades of activism
