Irena Sendler, she rescued thousands of Jewish children in the Holocaust
From the past: [Margaret Ann Bulkley](https://www.beyondcurie.com/margaret-ann-bulkley) She became the first female doctor but she went to medical school during a time when women were not allowed into higher education so she disguised herself as a man. She was so determined to become a doctor and went on to become a well respected surgeon. It was only after she died did people discover that she was truly a woman.
In today’s times: Ukrainian President Zelensky – Ukraine elected a comedian and got a true leader

Hedy Lamarr. An Extremely intelligent inventor worked on the concept of frequency hopping, which is the basis for GPS and Bluetooth.
Oh yeah she was also insanely gorgeous and an actress in the golden age of film.

Joan of arc…..la soldier and leader. I think it would be interesting to chat with her
Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge because she was a bad ass but also because was a great (x a lot) aunt of mine! She was the first woman to represent us govt internationally (& under FDR), first woman to pass the KT bar (not that she could practice 🙄), suffragist, professor, worked w the naacp, held a phd in polisci, and lots more. She was pretty cool 😎
Hatshepsut. She was a badass female Pharaoh at a time when all Pharaohs had been male, and she did a brilliant job ruling Egypt for a long time.
