Victoria Woodhull (1838-1927) - First woman to run for President, center of a scandal that rocked the nation. Victoria announced in the New York Herald her plans to run for president of the United States -- the first woman to do so. It would be 50 years before women could vote, but there was no law preventing women from running for office.

Mary Edwards Walker (1832-1919) - Prisoner of war during the Civil War, writer, doctor, fashion trend-setter and the only female to receive the Medal of Honor.

Madame C.J. Walker (1867-1919) - African-American entrepreneur, millionaire and philanthropist

Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) First president of the National Woman's Suffrage Association

Molly Pitcher (Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley) (1754-1832) - Born Mary Ludwig, this revolutionary heroine followed the Continental Army for more than 3 years, doing what was needed to free the colonies from the tyranny of England.

Clara Barton (1821-1912) - Civil War nurse, founder of the American Red Cross.

Maria Mitchell (1818-1889) - Astronomer and professor at Vassar College. First female member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Notice how all of these women acheived their positions way before feminism came along to 'free us'

I know of one- Susan B. Anthony and I don't know the web site, but, if you look up her name I'm sure you will find something on her. She was born in 1820 and died in 1906. She was a leading force in women's rights and a campaigner for women's suffrage. She started to get women the right to vote. Even though we didn't get the right to vote until 1920 after she already died around 14 years earlier. Then the 19th amendment gave us the right to vote.However, in recognition of her lifelong struggle to gain equality for women, it is often called the Susan B. Anthony amendment. And, I found the other woman is Elizabeth Cady Stanton that was a leader in the women's rights movement. I hope these sources can help you out, as a feminist and 100% heterosexual to get that straight, in my opinion these are great women in our history. Good luck on your sources!

Sandra Day O'Connor - GOD how we bypass over thee! My innovative; My former sister-in-regulation became interior the military as an air-site visitors controller; I desire i might want to undergo in ideas her call, yet I took sociology and she or he became a social worker by technique of day. She became large because she welcomed the critiques of others, even even as she did not accept as true with them, and became easily available helping human beings at her real interest (she took the evening type as more effective-income, if that tells you something). and she or he became like 4 months pregnant even as she became preparation - yet she by no ability were given emotional or disenchanted about others critiques.

Marie Currie ( I don't think I spelled it right at all). She was a very, very important woman... not a lawyer or a "doctor" but a scientist... VERY revolutionary!

Do your own homework, ann. Aren't you a strong, independent, empowered womyn?

P.S. You might try using spell check. There's no reason for you to misspell things that badly.
