NOTE: I started this project awhile ago, but was having some problems and kind of lost interest in it. Although there's still a lot I want to do, I wanted @HonestlyRon to see it before she left. So I fixed some things to make it okay. However this is still a huge work in progress, so don't worry, I'm going to clean it up :) *** This project was made to prove that anyone can change the world, no matter their race, religion, gender, or which country they are from. You can enter STEM, or the arts. But you are capable, no matter who you are. And I encourage you to change the world however you think it needs changing. Not all of the women in this project identify as feminists (although many did/do), but they all stood for equality, and that is a feminist message. Some of these women you have probably heard of, and others you may not have. To learn about them, click on their face, which will give you a brief summary of their life. If one woman, in particular, inspired you, please visit the notes and credits for more info. These women stood up in the face of adversity, and that is something that deserves respect. Despite danger- either political or physical- these women still continued to speak their minds and spread their message, working to make sure that their cause was met. Who is your favorite?
