Welcome to women in history! Each week, we will take a look at 12 incredible women from history - from their childhoods and inspirations, to their accomplishments and legacies. 

During each of these classes we will explore a brief biography of different women in history, their life, the society and culture that shaped them, and what contributions they made in their field. We will discuss how their lives would be different if they had been born in different times and cultures and what shaped them into achieving their goals.
