We all know male revolutionaries like Che Guevara, but history often tends to gloss over the contributions of female revolutionaries that have sacrificed their time, efforts, and lives to work towards burgeoning systems and ideologies. Despite misconceptions, there are tons of women that have participated in revolutions throughout history, with many of them playing crucial roles. They may come from different points on the political spectrum, with some armed with weapons and some armed with nothing but a pen, but all fought hard for something that they believed in.
I definitely identify as a Feminist as I think anyone who wants equal human rights should do... so of course this article is really interesting to me as I know from personal experience I was never taught about any influential females apart from Queen Elizabeth in history lessons in education. It would be great to produce some art to celebrate and draw attention back to these brave women.
