Yoo Gwan Soon (Korean national hero who lead the movement of independence against Japanese colonial rule), Sagao Ogata (Japanese diplomat, human rights related work); Emma Goldman (a prominent feminist international figure, who was born in Russia), Ivana Brlić Mažuranić (the most famous Croatian writer overall, not only amongst females, author of a good number of fairy tales with nice messages and interesting morals), Gianna Nannini (living classic of Italian rock'n'roll/pop) and there is more, but I'll end here. Feel free, everyone, to add more. Let's learn about important women of this world. ♥

Maybe Isadora Duncan? Since she was very little, she was raised only by her mother, she had practically no real education - and despite it she managed to create her own dance style and later open her own dance school. And Judith Leyster, a Dutch Golden Age painter? She isn't well known, 'cause in the past her paintings were often confused with the work of Frans Hals, but she was a great painter, a member of Guild of St. Luke and has her own apprentices. And Irena Sendler, who during WWII constantly put her life in risk while helping Jews to live in and to escape from the ghetto?

Probably S. E. Hinton, even though I mentioned her earlier. She was very young when she wrote a world-changing novel that changed many views on economic status and how it affected youth.

Thank you for all the lovely comments. And even more for the name suggestions. I'm planning to continue this series but not as a daily challenge & with all kind of different materials. As for today, I picked Cleopatra as the next lady: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4S8P_lQJE/ cleopatra-...b13d0d.jpg
