300 Unsung Women

Often ignored, their significant achievements attributed to others, these 300 women fought against gender boundaries to fulfill the potential they knew they had. Many suffered indignities in their quests - such as the woman who won the right to teach, but only behind a curtain to not upset male students.

Inventors, activists, scientists, doctors, lawyers, mountain climbers, athletes, historians, artists, writers, 'bad-ass women' and more... these 300 brief biographies highlight the essence of their lives and struggles.

D-L Nelson spent more than two years researching and writing to share information about these brave women who have offered so much to the world - they are forgotten no more.
