History is full of incredible women who didn’t just step up—they kicked down doors, shattered glass ceilings and paved the way for the rest of us. From science to sports, politics to the arts, these female firsts dared to go where no woman had gone before.
These women (and so many others) didn’t just achieve “firsts” for the sake of a title. They faced skepticism, outright hostility and systems built to keep them out. Yet they pushed forward, proving that talent, determination and a little bit of rebel spirit can rewrite the rules. Every time a woman steps into a new role today (whether it’s in a boardroom, a cockpit, or a lab) she’s standing on the shoulders of these giants.
Inspired by a fantastic roundup from our friends at Reader’s Digest, let’s take a moment to celebrate some of these pioneers who changed the game.
