A Voice In History

Do women have an authentic voice? Yesterday they did not. The following is a list of names that you may not be familiar with because they are the names of women. They have done something significant in life and yet their names rarely appeared in history books. This represents a collection I made over time. See if you have ever heard of them or know of their work. And, if there are errors, forgive me and enlighten me, please.
