101 Women in History Everyone Should Know

Answers in Genesis

 

When I began preparing this series, I made a list of some of the fascinating women I’ve read about.  I will be covering some of them more in-depth throughout this month, but I wanted to share the list as a starting point for a unit study in women’s history.  Some names will be familiar, though many may not.  All of these women made important contributions one way or another in history.  You can use this list in combination with the free printable biography report and let your kids do some research about these women in history!
