The month of November has been extremely eventful for everyone, however, let's make sure to not forget about the powerful women that have made a historical impact on all of us.
1. Mary Robinson
On November 7, 1990, Mary Robinson became the first female president for the country of Ireland. Robinson was supported by both the Green Party and the Worker's Party BUT was also nominated by the Labour Party. To become Ireland's president, Robinson decided to merge conservative and liberal ideals to modernize Ireland's image and encourage communication between the people.
2. Marie Curie
Born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7th 1867; Curie eventually begins a career as a chemist. Marie Curie, along with her husband Pierre Curie, discovered the element Radium. She eventually moves on to win the Nobel Prize for their discovery in 1903.
3. Georgia O'Keeffe
Georgia O'Keeffe was born in Wisconsin on November 15, 1887. The beloved American artist (one of my personal favorites too) was most well known for her desert landscapes and flower paintings. She is also extremely important, in my opinion, for her role in breaking down limitations of freedom and opportunity for women in the art world.
