As I research and reflect on the women featured across this site, I find myself asking new questions, discovering unexpected parallels, and sitting with the silences in their stories. This blog isn’t about answers—it’s about exploring what we find when we look more closely. Feel free to follow along, add your own voice, or simply read and reflect.
Some voices echo through time because they were carved in stone, recorded in scrolls, or spoken from thrones. Others survive in fragments—in the margins of a speech, the ruins of a temple, or the myths told long after a name has faded.
From the start of this project, I’ve kept running into the same frustrating truth—history has a habit of trying to erase powerful women. Not just overlooking them, but actively working to scrub them out like they never existed. And honestly? That pisses me off.
There are truths that facts alone can’t hold.Sometimes the past asks us not just to study it—but to speak with it.
What would you say if you could write a letter to one of these women?
If one of these women stood in front of you today, what would you ask her?
What might she see in you?
How would she tell your story if she were the one writing it?
What advice do you think she’d offer—about courage, change, or legacy?
Where do you see echoes of Aspasia, Hatshepsut, or Grace O'Malley today?
Have you ever felt silenced—or powerful—in a way that connects with one of these women?
Whose voice do you carry with you that history might overlook?
What does leadership look like to you—and how does it differ from what you were taught?
Is there a woman from your own life who deserves to be remembered this way?
