Just a few of the incredible women you'll learn about: Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (1900–1978) As one of the first girls to ever attend her elementary school, the first Nigerian woman to drive a car, the first African woman to visit China, and the first woman to found a Nigerian political party, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti lived a life full of firsts that would pave the way for others. Policarpa Salavarrieta (c. 1795–1817) Policarpa Salavarrieta lived in a time of upheaval, when the people of what is now Colombia were in the midst of rebellion and bucking the tyrannical rule of the Spanish empire. She played an active role in the revolution, inspired a nation, and became a legend. Murasaki Shikibu (c. 973–c. 1014) Murasaki Shikibu was born into an aristocratic family in 10th-century Japan, when an education was not considered necessary for a girl. Murasaki didn’t let social norms stand in her way. She went on to write what many consider the most influential work in all of Japanese literature. Kate Warne (c. 1833–1867) Decades before women could join a police force, Kate Warne joined one of the most famous detective agencies in American history. The first female detective paved the way for thousands of women in the police and investigative services—and even helped save the life of President Abraham Lincoln.
