Is there a woman from history – famous or not – who you're kind of obsessed with?
Like Josephine Baker, the ultra-glamorous cabaret star who aided the French Resistance during WWII and the American civil rights movement in the 1950s and '60s, and also had a pet cheetah.
Maybe you love Hedy Lamarr, the Austrian-American actress born in 1914 who was both a brilliant inventor and a casual movie star.
Maybe you can't read enough about the Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi, who achieved acclaim as an artist at a time when women weren't even allowed to enter artistic academies.
Or maybe your hero is Raden Ajeng Kartini, the outspoken writer and activist who lived from1879 to1904 and is considered Indonesia's "first feminist".
