  • Anne Bonny and Mary Read, the infamous lady pirates who sailed the seven seas and plundered with the best of the men.
  • Jeanne Manon Roland and Sophie Grandchamp, Parisian socialites who landed front-row seats (from prison) to the French Revolution.
  • Sharon and Shirley Firth, the First Nations twin sisters who would go on to become Olympic skiiers and break barriers in the sport.
  • The Edinburgh Seven, the band of pals who fought to become the first women admitted to medical school in the United Kingdom.
  • The Zohra Orchestra, the ensemble from Afghanistan who defied laws, danger, and threats to become the nation’s first all-female musical group.
