Pullitzer Prize winner Laurel Ulrich is a historian of early America and the history of women, a university professor at Harvard University.

Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep (born June 22, 1949) is an American actress who has worked in theatre, television and film.
She is widely regarded as one of the most talented and respected actresses of the modern era. Her mastey of accents (see video clip below) is, in my opinion, unmatched by any actor, female or male. She is simply gorgeous in every sense.
Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett, GBE (11 June 1847 – 5 August 1929) was an English suffragist (one who campaigned for women to have the vote) and an early feminist.
She was born Millicent Garrett in Aldeburgh, Suffolk.
As a suffragist, as opposed to a suffragette, she took a moderate line, but was a tireless campaigner.
