On the night of Paul Revere's ride, Sybil Ludington also rode to warn of the approaching British troops. At over 40 miles, her ride was longer than the famous one.

@JoyfulHeart Thank you for sharing. @justjennn Thank you very much, no worries the whole month is celebrated, so still on time lol 😂

In addition to the figures from history being mentioned here, I want to thank a very important group of women for their contribution to ourstory, and in particular, mystory.
Several of them are here on this forum. If I've cuddled with you, or if I've had conversations with you on or off the forum, you're included.
You may be unsung heroes, but you are heroes in my opinion. Each of you has had a part in helping me to heal, helping me to grow, and helping me to become a better human being. For all these things I am grateful.
May you receive as much goodness as you give, and more! 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
@Nature_Lover_ Thank you very much!❤️ @JoyfulHeart I totally agree!!! 💯
So do black women get two History months? Black History and Women's History.
@UKGuy Yes! Isn't that wonderful?
@UKGuy ~ YES!!
smh... why ask that...?
I’d like to remember Rosalind Franklin. Watson & Crick are credited with discovering the double helix structure of DNA and won the Nobel Prize for it but they stole and depended on the work of Rosalind Franklin to make that discovery. I read their account of it in The Double Helix and was appalled, even then, about how they bragged about ripping off her work. She was only 37 when she died.

This woman's story is incredible!
"Rebecca Lee Crumpler, born Rebecca Davis, (February 8, 1831 – March 9, 1895), was an American physician, nurse and author. After studying at the New England Female Medical College, in 1864 she became the first African-American woman to become a doctor of medicine in the United States."
"In 1883, she published A Book of Medical Discourses."
"Dedicated to nurses and mothers, it focuses on maternal and pediatric medical care and was among the first publications written by an African American about medicine."

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Rules the World by William Ross Wallace (1819-1881)
Blessings on the hand of women! Angels guard its strength and grace. In the palace, cottage, hovel, Oh, no matter where the place; Would that never storms assailed it, Rainbows ever gently curled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.
Infancy's the tender fountain, Power may with beauty flow, Mothers first to guide the streamlets, From them souls unresting grow — Grow on for the good or evil, Sunshine streamed or evil hurled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.
Woman, how divine your mission, Here upon our natal sod; Keep – oh, keep the young heart open Always to the breath of God! All true trophies of the ages Are from mother-love impearled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.
Blessings on the hand of women! Fathers, sons, and daughters cry, And the sacred song is mingled With the worship in the sky — Mingles where no tempest darkens, Rainbows evermore are hurled; For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.
Thank you @quixotic_life @Babichev @cuddlebear4U48 and @JoyfulHeart

Margaret Hamilton's Apollo Code
One of the many contributors to this effort was Margaret Hamilton, a computer scientist who led the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which in 1961 contracted with NASA to develop the Apollo program's guidance system.
I thought this was a joke at first but apparently it’s real. I don’t know if it’s for publicity or not but it would definitely make history if it’s true Lol 😂
Women are even more terrific than I realized. Love that pic @PeopleLikeUs. @SuperManCuddles Thanks for your super interesting contributions.
Happy Women's history month! Thank you to all the women pros and enthusiasts here.
