Often ignored, their significant achievements attributed to others, these 300 women fought against gender boundaries to fulfill the potential they knew they had. Many suffered indignities in their quests - such as the woman who won the right to teach, but only behind a curtain to not upset male students. Inventors, activists, scientists, doctors, lawyers, mountain climbers, athletes, historians, artists, writers, 'bad-ass women' and more... these 300 brief biographies highlight the essence of their lives and struggles. D-L Nelson spent more than two years researching and writing to share information about these brave women who have offered so much to the world - they are forgotten no more.
