Women that changed the world… Marie Curie, 1867-1934 Marie Skłodowska Curie changed the world not once, but twice!

Emily Wilding Davison 1872 – 1913 Emily Davison was an English suffragette who fought for votes for women in Britain in the early twentieth century. She was arrested on nine occasions, went on hunger strike seven times and was force fed on forty-nine occasions. She died after being hit by King George V’s horse Anmer at the 1913 Derby when she walked onto the track during the race.
Women that changed the world… Rosa Parks, 1913–2005 In 1955, Rosa Parks, an African American living in Alabama, challenged the race segregation that existed in parts of the US by refusing to give up her seat on a bus so that a white person could sit down. Her protest was supported by many other African Americans and sparked the civil rights movement which, in the 1960s, eventually won equal rights. Cleopatra, 69 BC-30 BC Egyptian Pharaoh Final ruler of Egypt’s Ptolemaic dynasty, Cleopatra was more than the famous beauty that she is often portrayed as. A formidable, politically shrewd monarch, she was directly involved in the running of a kingdom that faced challenges on many fronts.
Women that changed the world… Diana, Princess of Wales, 1961–97 In 1981, Diana Spencer became the first wife of the heir apparent to the British throne, Charles, Prince of Wales. She became well known internationally for her charity work for sick children, the banning of landmines and for raising awareness about those affected by cancer, HIV/AIDS and mental illness. Jane Austen, 1775–1817 One of the most famous figures in British history, Austen’s novels have gone on to become literary sensations. Often lacing plots exploring marriage, status and social sensibility with a distinctive irony, her works have been adapted many times in plays, films and TV series.
