    Juliette Low founded the Girl Scouts…Shirley Chisholm was the first African American woman in the US Congress…Sarah Winnemucca was a Native American princess and an activist for better relations between the natives and the “Americans”…Elizabeth Blackwell was the first American woman to receive a medical degree.

    Thanks, Greg. I learned something today.

    As long as it’s always and only men who are recording history, women will be hidden away as being irrelevant. As long as it’s men who decide what’s important for students to learn about in school, the history of the massive contributions by women to the developments of civilization will be dismissed as a trivial waste of time…..it seems like we had to get a minimal nod from society before anyone would acknowledge that we are truly at least half of the important history making events that need to be taught…. the campaign for equality starts with the basics… in the education and attitudes of what is of importance for our youngest members of humanity to be exposed to from the very beginings of their lives.

    I know a whole bunch of historic women – Bloody Mary, Queen Mary, Shirley Temple, Bloody Margaret, Pink Lady, and Rose Kennedy, to name a few.

    Fun fact: Utah allowed women the right to vote in the 1860s / 1870s. This right was stripped from the women of the state as part of the anti-polygamy laws, as the “Mormon Women” voting bloc was the state’s swing bloc and Congress decided to destroy what it couldn’t control.

    Even many self-declared “feminists” I encounter don’t know this, as it’s so shocking that almost no mainstream historians dare explore the matter.

    Pretty lame Luann. With the exception of Shirley Chisholm your list is pretty obscure. Most people also don’t know who founded the Boy Scouts, how many random authors can you name, and most people know who Louisa May Alcott is. And lastly who can name the first male doctor in the USA? You have to make your mark to be famous.

    He really should know Shirley Chisholm. She was current news at that time.
