International Women's Day is approaching, and I always do a folktale selection on my blog for it.
So far, I've had:

🐉 Women slaying monsters
⚔️ Women in war
⚕️ Woman healers
👭 Women helping women
👵 Badass grandmas

Trying to come up with a theme for this year's post. Any suggestions?

In Filipino families, the eldest daughter is the "parentified" sibling, bearing "the brunt of domestic responsibilities: they are expected to cook, clean, run errands, and babysit their siblings while the parents are out working."

Fission is in the news, but few recognize that a woman physicist was behind the discovery.

Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry w/o her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.

Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201502/physicshistory.cfm #women #history #science #energy


Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?

Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists like Carnegie & Rockefeller.

But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.

Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history #women #HistoryRemix
