Celebrate Women's History Month by learning about strong women in history. As a mom (especially a girl mama), I love teaching my girls about women who made a difference. Here's five women you should celebrate this month:
Cleopatra: Cleopatra VII ruled Egypt as the last pharaoh from 51 BC to 30 BC. She was a powerful and intelligent leader who spoke multiple languages and was known for her strategic abilities, political acumen, and charisma.
Marie Curie: Marie Curie was a Polish-born physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in different fields: physics and chemistry.
Ada Lovelace: Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician and writer who is widely regarded as the world's first computer programmer. She worked with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine, and wrote what is now considered the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine.
Eleanor Roosevelt: Eleanor Roosevelt was an American diplomat and human rights activist who served as First Lady of the United States from 1933 to 1945. She was a champion of civil rights, women's rights, and human rights, and played a key role in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Malala Yousafzai: Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. She survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban in 2012, and has since become a leading advocate for girls' education around the world.
