After a life-giving discussion of Christine de Pizan, students built their own City of Ladies. They could choose women from myth, legend, literature, history, or the present...Do we want a thread of the highlights or all 30?

Far and away the most popular choice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. #RBG

Next, Cleopatra.

In order of popularity, next they chose Marie Curie.

Rosa Parks.

Next, a tie between @MichelleObama and Mother Theresa.

Then quite the group with two "nominations"...Amelia Earhart, Susan B. Anthony, the goddess Athena, and Rosie the Riveter.

The rest were each nominated once. So in random order—Katherine Hepburn, the Virgin Mary, and @AOC.

Rosalind Franklin, the goddess Diana, and Jane Austen.

Hua Mulan, Catherine the Great, and Harriet Tubman.

@KamalaHarris, Princess Diana, and the one and only Christine de Pizan made it into their City.

Sojourner Truth, Queen Elizabeth II, and Mary Magdalene.

Malala Yousafzai, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Finally, one student suggested Breonna Taylor be in our City of Ladies because her life mattered.
