Have you ever been researching a woman from history and wanted to know more about them? Or maybe you just like reading stories about women from all walks of life. If either of those are the case, you've made your way to the right place.
Since 2015, I have been gathering names and stories of women from all time periods, locations, and careers with the hopes of sharing those stories with the world someday. Well, the time is finally here. As of July 2019, I have amassed over 1,500 such women. Some are still alive, some died thousands of years ago, and some never lived at all (yes, I've included a few legends and I will mark them appropriately so that you know too).
