Women Who Ought To Be Famous | |
|
We're looking for a few good women. They're not in the history books. So we asked you to find them - and you did! The "Women Who Ought to Be Famous" Collection started with a thread in the Women's Issues forum called "Really Cool Women who ought to be famous." Readers found dozens of women that you ought to have heard of - but probably never have. Read on and be amazed.
