There was a time long ago in ancient Egypt when the higher wisdom was attributed to women. Women governed Egypt until the Amun priesthood infiltrated, took over and destroyed any traces of the previously governing matriarchy. Since then, there have been many important women on the books of history, really not as many as there should actually be.
Amazing geniuses have passed unnoticed to the history books, (scientists of sorts, mathematicians, musicians, adventurers, pilots, biochemists, engineers, you name it) although in many instances we wouldn’t have come this far without those almost unknown heroes. Good news is that we all know amazing women both in our everyday lives (mums all over the world are number one hero to millions of children) and on the public arena.
From Cleopatra to
Indira Gandhi, up to our days there have been many women governing nations...
famous examples of women that “have made it” in a man’s world.
Marie Curie always is
perhaps the most renowned scientist, but not the only one. She discovered two
elements, was the first women to win a Nobel Prize, in 1903, and was the first
person to win a second Nobel price.
Although many other have passed
mostly unnoticed? Did you know that
Mozart had a sister, a sister that played with astonishing precision and skill?
As poetically described in the theatre play “The Other Mozart” by Sylvia Milo,
starring Helena Bonham Carter. But Maria Anna Mozart
went pretty much unnoticed by the history books.
Many pioneering women
in their field, many “first ever to”
Lillian Moller
Gilbreth was an American psychologist and industrial engineer at the turn of
the 20th century. She was an expert in efficiency and organizational
psychology. Her long list of firsts includes first female commencement speaker
at the University of California, first female engineering professor at Purdue,
and first woman elected to the National Academy of Engineering.
Rosalind Franklin was
a British chemist and crystallographer, best known for her research that was
essential to elucidating the structure of DNA. During her lifetime, Franklin was not credited
for her key role, but years later she is recognized as providing a pivotal
piece of the DNA story. Franklin spent the last five years of her life studying
the structure of plant viruses and passed away in 1958.(photo)
In modern times there are hundreds
of examples of very prominent women contributing to all aspects of life...
Science, medicine, politics... we see them almost daily on the news: Angela
Merkel, Theresa May, Nicola Sturgeon...
Kellyanne Conway has very successfully managed
a very tough political race across the pond, and continues to be an
indispensable figure in the entourage of the newly elected President of the
United States, Donald J. Trump.
