Famous Women IMHO
This is a website of some of the most famous women in history
around the world in my humble opinion (IMHO). This list of
famous women deserve recognition for their accomplishments
to society as we now know it. Famous women throughout time
from all over the globe and their contributions to the present
day will be factually presented. In addition, at the end of
each section will be a little known secret about each of our
famous women. ;) And this may not be so factual in nature.

Famous women throughout time have achieved fame by giving
of their wisdom, generosity, empathy and leadership skills.
Some of the most famous women of all time include artists,
writers, entertainers, scientists, explorers, rebels, political
leaders, religious leaders, educators, lawyers, athletes and
titans of industry.
Famous women have run countries, won Nobel Prizes and led
revolutions. Many famous women include celebrities and other
notables. But also presented on this site are those who simply
stood up for themselves, their families and their beliefs
and changed the world by doing so.
In a patchwork of patriarchal societies like we have on this
planet, women often go unnoticed and under recognized. Even
in today's modern world there are still some countries like
India and China where birthing a boy is more "valued"
than birthing a girl.
Social, political and economic realities have weighed heavily
on most societies since civilized mankind began. The famous
women listed on this site, resisted, broke through barriers,
crushed glass ceilings and otherwise had an impact on the
world as we now know it.
Just in the last 2 centuries the Women's Suffrage Movement
in the 18th to 20th centuries, the Women's Liberation Movement
starting in the 1960's and the Feminist Movement to follow
from the 1990's to today have shown many female leaders in
thought and action.
These pages are a celebration of the famous women in history
who have shaped our world progressively for the betterment
of all people. These pages are not a statement on equal rights
or gender equality although these items will com e into plan.
Famous women in history need to be celebrated for their forward
thinking, contributions, desire and action to make a positive
impact amongst the societies in which they live and their
long-lasting implications of today. So, check out the information
and even humor about the famous women on these pages and let
us know if these is anyone you would also like included in
this celebratory space as well.
