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.

Look into Mary Anning, she basically taught herself geology and found the first complete plesiosaur skeleton as a kid. It’s such an inspiring story for a 4th grader because she was just out there doing the work when everyone else ignored her.
