She fought hard against her harsh life situation and fled from her master's house In 1849, by way of the railroad tunnel and headed north, then immediately began to do the same with the rest of the enslaved, and led dozens of them to freedom. In the war, she also led several campaigns in which more than 700 slaves were freed, and if we wanted justice, civil rights would not have been what they are without her contributions.

Likewise, the feminist movement that exists today would not have been what it is without Mary's contributions.

Marie Curie was undoubtedly influential not only in the world of women, but in the whole world of medicine as well. She was an example of a hardworking, successful and intelligent woman at a time when women were hardly allowed to work outside the home.

Rose was instrumental in the civil rights movement as she was an African American activist and advocate for civil rights for African Americans.

Rose embodied the idea of ​​nonviolent resistance and was known as the woman who refused to be less than she was and was too modest despite her active role in civil rights. The whole world lost this courageous woman in the year 2005.

And she had her efforts in urging Pakistan to become a democratic country instead of being a dictatorial country, and she was interested in social reform, especially with regard to the rights of women and the poor. Her term in office ended due to accusations of corruption, which she denied until the year of her death in 2007.

Eva Perón is considered one of the most influential women in modern history. She was born as the illegitimate daughter of a poor woman in one of the villages of Argentina, and at the age of 24 she met Colonel “Juan Perón” and then became his spokesperson, and made a tremendous effort to support his popularity and increase his influence and helped him reach to the presidency - after their marriage - until everyone agreed that Peron's rule could not be overthrown or even weakened, and the secret is the (first lady) who has won the hearts of millions, as she worked without fatigue for the poor and women's rights in Argentina, so it was not surprising that They love her and call her (Santa Evata) or Little Saint Eva.
