      Thank you so much, so interesting, just brilliant information and very educational. So much more personal than any other "History Chanel". Watching on yet another hot 🥵 night from Melbourne, Australia 😊

      Yet another fabulous and informative video! Brava!!! Your descriptive narration and artistic video's make this channel a pure pleasure to watch and listen. Thank you for your enlightenment and education to all of us who appreciate knowing and understanding the outstanding women who have inspired and changed the world. Grazie mille dall'Italia!!

      So many fearless and brave women from our past fought for women to have the right to be seen as more than baby-making house servants (some losing their lives). And today, many young women are fighting to go backwards so they can be a “trad wife”.
      What a shame when no one studies history or learns from it.

      You've done a brilliant work here! Viva las Hermanas Miraballes! Pffffffft! Ché was a wuss, in comparison, and Fidel less shiny now! 😀 Viva liberdad Dominicana!

      I like this format a lot – still nice and long, still tons of information, just not on only one person. How perfect to celebrate so many women for women’s day!

      First six were interesting. Nelly Bly and Lee were way too long and should have been broken off into their own parts. Finally stopped watching the Lee Miller one.

      Let's get real angry if L33 Mill3r gets silenced again … 😉 Love your shows. Your shows need to be mandatory "listening" for girls and young women who, via youth and propaganda, do not realize they stand on the shoulders of greatness and benefit from prior fights.

      🌹Happy International Woman's Day 🌹 Congratulations for this week's selection, your work, research and dedication to these "JEWELS" that walked with grace and head held up high, this world of ours. I had heard of the Mirabal sisters "las hermanas mariposas", they sure had guts confronting the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo, but Karma is sweet revenge. The sisters are not forgotten and every year Nov. 25th is dedicated as "Intl Day Against Violence towards Women". I was amazed at Journalist Elizabeth (Nellie) Bly, she was way ahead of her time, the things she did to prove the wrong, good grief pretend to be nuts and endure the abuse. Alice Ball died young but her research and work finally recognized. Edith Garrud was amazing tiny and fierce loved to learn from her! Journalist Nellie Bly maybe my favorite story in this video, to bad lost the old husband and money but she sure knew how to rise and shine through it all. Photographer and Journalist Lee Miller you recently featured, so I knew a bit about her, amazing woman. I would say about all 5 women to quote Nellie BLy ……."I would I could I did". What a legacy they all left, such an inspiration. Thank you for giving each the recognition they deserved. Elizabeth in Texas 💐♥

      I could watch the Lee Miller video over and over and never tire of it. She’s so beautiful and so talented- I’m having a mini obsession.
