Todays interesting historical figure is Barabara Bodichon who was a Victorian woman who helped change society, but again has become largely forgotten.

She is another educationalist, co-founding Girton College and she also worked for women's sufferage. She is just one of the amazing women whose stories can be found in a paperbased form in Feminist Theorists Three Centuries of Women's Intellectual Traditions (ed. Dale Spender) - (a wonderful book that somebody recently found for me on a 2nd hand book stall and I am currently working my way through).
