I'm writing a play for Women's History month and I need advice?

Which women of history would you like to see featured in a play? This is going to be an informative play for a local Girl's Inc club. Our local AAUW group is performing it for young girls. For me, the hardest part is picking which women get to be featured.I'm writing a play for Women's History month and I need advice?

You should include Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, Florence Nightingale, and Marie Currie.
How about Mary Walker? She was a doctor with the Union during the ACW and as far as I'm aware she is still the only woman to have ever won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Which Congress wrongly took away from her in 1917 but which was posthumously returned in 1977.





Then there's Sarah Josepha Hale, the editor from 1827-1836 of Ladies Magazine and editor from 1837-1877 of Godey's Lady Book. Hale is also partly responsible for the US's modern Thanksgiving, she petitioned Zachary Taylor, Millard Filmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and finally Abraham Lincoln for the institution of Thanksgiving as a national holiday. Of those five presidents only Lincoln took her seriously. She helped to raise money for a monument to be placed on Bunker Hill and pushed for the preservation of Mount Vernon.





From there, how about Valentina Tereshkova. In 1963 she became the first woman in space. In 1962 she was selected for the cosmonaut program. Though originally slated to fly aboard Vostok 5, she was pushed back to Vostok 6 and would remain the only woman to have flown in space for the next 19 years despite other female cosmonauts having been trained at the same time as she was.
