Welcome! We’re glad you are here. If you are working on a History project you may use this site! We are a team of women who hate how history is mostly men. We want to make this website just for you! Look up you favorite women or browse for new ones that you never heard of. Even though we are using Wikipedia, here is just a site to look up only WOMEN without everything else like the SAT page popping up. See? No SAT popping up in your way! (Even though we think that the SAT is awesome…).
