Abstract

When most of us name daring and adventurous figures from the past, we think of men. Pirates such as Blackbeard, explorers like Louis and Clark, Magellan, or Alexander the Great fill our history books and give us examples of courage and fortitude. However, there are also vast swaths of female history that have been, sadly, left out of these textbooks. So let’s explore just a fraction of these women and celebrate their accomplishments as well. - Women of the American Civil War - The Pirate Grace O’ Malley - Explorer Mary Kingsley - Dahomey’s Warrior Women - Shagrat Al Durr (Ägypten)
