@Sheril. Interesting Sheril👍🏼😊🌹🙏.
Please continue to share the achievements of great women in our society. I read with interest but feel sad that many of them were not given due credit for their contributions. 🤔 Sad 😡

I'm finding this series both enlightening and engaging. Thank you for sharing these stories; the fact that so many of them are new to me speaks volumes about the way women's contributions have been suppressed.

I imagine most people are aware of Ada Lovelace, a pioneer in computer programming, but I don't think too many people are aware of the contributions of Bertha Benz without whom the development of the automobile would have been drastically delayed (her husband saw the device as little more than a toy, she saw it for the world-changing tool it turned out to be). She undertook the first "long-distance" journey in an automobile, a bit more than 200km, and had to invent several things along the way including brake linings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertha_B…

Caroline Herschel?

Thank you — these are great women. May I suggest Mary Anning?
