Yesterday was International Women’s Day. Last year I did a post on extraordinary living women, so this year I’ll make links to articles on important historic women. This post is written after a long work day, so it there might be some spelling mistakes. If so, I apologize.
At Bitch Media, a feminist blog, they have a series called “Adeventures in Feministory”. Below you’ll find the links to the articles!
Here’s the most recent post in the series on Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer.
An article on Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to U.S congress.
Here’s a article on Annie Oakley.
Ella Baker, a underrated civil rights activist.
For those interested in cultural history:
An essay on the writer Gloria Anzaldúa.
For fans of blues, here’s an article on Gladys Bentley.
For people interested in the Dancing arts, Rachel Tobach did a great essay on Isadora Duncan.
Essay on Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
And finally an article on Phoolan Devi, “The Bandit Queen Of India”.
Happy (late) international women’s day, sisters!
