Womens Of History

March is Women of history, counterpart of the male who doesn't have a month dedicated to them. We're special. My list is in no order and I did get these from the internet.

• I start my list off with Hattie McDaniel. Truth be told I only know her as Mammy in Gone with the Wind. She was the first African American who won Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress.
• Rosa Parks. Who has her own special day; Rosa Parks Day falls on December 1st. She's known for disobeying the bus driver for giving her seat up 'cause the back of the bus where blacks where forced to sit (now and days the best spot). 
• Susan B. Anthony fought for women's right to vote.
• Ethel Waters became the first African American to star in her own TV show for which she was nominated.
• Elizabeth Blackwell is the first woman awarded a medical degree by a college. 
• Cora Brown was the first African American elected to a US state Senate in the Michigan State Senate.
• Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic.
• Sally Ride was the first woman in space. 
• Eleanor Roosevelt who fought for women causes, black's, poor, and the unemployed. 
• Sacagawea. She helped led the first exploration of the Northwest. She also and helped negotiate sate and peaceful passages through tribal lands. 
• Harriet Tubman who led the underground railroad. She led more than 300 slaves to freedom.
