Jane Austen (1775 –1817)

You can thank Jane Austen for basically creating those rom-com books you love to read. In her teenage years during the early 1810s, she started writing her most famous novels, like Pride and Prejudice  and  Sense and Sensibility. She didn't even get credit for her novels until after her death when her brother Henry publicly announced she was the author. Even today, the themes of her works and literary devices still hold up. 

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)

Ada Lovelace's genius was years before her time. As an English mathematician, she is credited with being  the world's first computer programmer . Her notes on Babbage’s Analytical Engine are known as the first description for computer software and her efforts. Nowadays, the second Tuesday in October is known as Ada Lovelace Day and celebrates women in STEM. 

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910)

Florence Nightingale, a.k.a. Lady with the Lamp, was a British nurse who is credited as the founder of modern-day nursing . During the Crimean War, she tended to the wounded for hours on end, after during the night, which earned her her nickname. In 1860, she opened the first science-based nursing school in London. 

Queen Lili'uokalani (1838-1917)

Lydia Liliʻu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamakaʻeha of the Kamehameha Dynasty became the first and only reigning queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1891.

She was also an author and songwriter who composed more than 150 songs, including one of Hawaii’s most well-known songs, “Aloha Oe.” 

Nellie Bly (1864-1922)

Nellie Bly basically set the standard for investigative journalism. At a time when women writers were confined to the society pages, Bly tackled more serious topics like mental health, poverty, and corruption in politics. She's most famous for going undercover at the insane asylum on Blackwell’s (now Roosevelt) Island. Her exposé on the horrific conditions brought about much-needed changes to patient care. She also set the world record for circumnavigating the world. She completed the feat in just 72 days. 

Marie Curie (1867-1934)

Marie Curie did not leave science to the men. Instead, the Polish scientist's work led to the discover of two new elements, polonium and radium , and championed the use of radiation in medicine. She became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in 1903, then she won again in 1911 in Chemistry. 

Margaret Sanger (1879-1966)

Sanger, a feminist and women's rights activist, coined the term "birth control."

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

When her husband FDR took office, Eleanor didn't just stand by—she dramatically  changed the role of the first lady , advocating for human rights, women's rights, and children's causes. She went on to become chair of the U.N.'s Human Rights Commission in 1945.

Amelia Earhart (1897- 1937)

Anna May Wong (1905-1961)

Hollywood has historically been a tough industry for actors of color, but Wong was able to find box-office success as a Chinese-American actress in the 1930s. Her decades-long career survived the transition from black-and-white silent films to talkies and technicolor. In 2022, she became the first Asian American to be featured on U.S. currency .

Grace Hopper (1906-1992)

In 1934, Hopper  earned her Ph.D. in mathematics , becoming one of the very few women to hold such a degree. She went on to help "develop a compiler that was a precursor to the widely used COBOL language" for computers, and she became a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy.

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)

A force in the art world, Kahlo became known in Mexico and around the world for creating thought-provoking works grounded in  magical realism . Her 1938 self-portrait, titled "The Frame," was the first work by a 20th-century Mexican artist to ever be featured in the Louvre.

The "Golden Age" actress was credited for helping to  co-invent a radio signaling device , a.k.a a “Secret Communications System.” The system changed radio frequencies to confuse and hinder enemies during World War II, and it's a crucial part of how we communicate wirelessly today.

Indira Gandhi (1917-1984)

In 1966, Gandhi became the third prime minister of India, and is one of few examples of  women rising to power  in the country. She continued in her role for more than 20 years until she was assassinated in 1984.

This photo of Parker bending over machinery with her hair pulled back in a red bandana was the inspiration behind behind " Rosie the Riveter ." A version of Rosie was published in  The Saturday Evening Post  in 1943 in a patriotic campaign to get women into the workforce, but the iconic photo was originally created as a poster for Westinghouse Electric Corporation with the now-popular phrase,”We Can Do It.”

Anne Frank (1929-1945)

Frank was a young Jewish girl who died in a concentration camp in 1945. Her father, Otto Frank, escaped and published his daughter's  now-famous diaries  in 1947, which chronicled her experiences during the Holocaust. Her writing has helped historians (and readers) better understand the time.

Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958)

We can thank British scientist Rosalind Franklin for much of what we know of DNA today. Using X-ray diffraction methods , she discovered DNA's density, and more importantly, its molecular structure. This gave way to James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery that DNA is shaped in a double helix. Her discovery changed how scientists view genetics and how genes are passed down in families. 

Betty Friedan (1921-2006)

Friedan is best known for writing the book  The Feminine Mystique , which encourages women to seek more opportunities for themselves outside traditional home-based roles. She went on to co-found and become president of the National Organization for Women.

When she joined forces with the popular band Sonora Matancera in 1950, Cruz had no idea that she would become the voice of a nation; throughout the '60s, the  "Queen of Salsa"  became one of the most prolific musicians in Latin America.
