Famous Firsts in Women's History Around the World
From Edith Wharton to Kamala Harris, join L'OFFICIEL in celebrating female trailblazers throughout time in honor of Women's History Month.
Breaking glass ceilings throughout history, women have contributed to the progress of humanity with many pioneering innovations and monumental growth in different fields, from politics, science, and sports, to arts, culture, and literature. Achieving all of this has never been a small feat, as women worldwide had to constantly fight for their rights to be treated equally and work hard to carve themselves a place in history beside the big boys' club.
Women such as Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, and Valentina Tereshkova, who helped break the gender barrier in their respective industries, have paved the way for their future female counterparts to bring outstanding contributions to those fields and make a valuable impact on world history. And needless to say, they have also proved what an important role women play in the development of society.
From the first self-made female billionaire to the first female Pulitzer Prize winner, during Women's History Month, L'OFFICIEL celebrates the remarkable accomplishments achieved by 22 women who have made famous firsts in history and the long-lasting impact they had on the world.
