John Blad from Wikimedia Deutschland is looking for a list of women in history who made major impacts - think Marie Curie and Sojourner Truth, or Julia Child and Alice Paul, or Pratibha Devisingh Patil.

Please email John off list if you have some ideas! He will appreciate it - and they should have a Wikipedia article - I'm presuming *at least* in English and/or German. Thanks!

I need a list of extraordinary women with their birthyear or perhaps
birtdate, or even both. I also need to know in a one-sentence what
they have done.

Preferably someone that can match Steven Biko, Louis Pasteur, Dr.
Martin Luther King, etc. Right now I have to many nerdy men on my
list.. ;/

Feel free to forward to gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org but please don't
say how it shall be used.
