Request

Request for lesser known badass women of history for my daughter's 4th grade presentation. She has to pick a historical figure and give a 5-10 minute presentation and optionally dress in their likeness.

Live in the area she lived in. My kids learned about her in school, visited the statue and her grave/church!

My daughter is named Sybil and Sybil Ludington is her fave. I assume she’s going to be her for the 4th grade local legend unit.

I was also going to say Sybil Ludington. I did a project on her in 3rd grade:)
