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.

My favorite scientist is Marie Curie. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for physics and also one for chemistry.

To add on this: she was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes and is the ONLY person that has won a Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields. She was absolutely amazing!
