Clara Barton is Missing

I can’t thank you enough for creating something so important. And the graphics make it so approachable and fun!
The only thing I would point out is that Clara Barton is missing. She used her own money during civil war to bring medical supplies to the wounded soldiers at the frontline, wrote letters to their families so they could have closure, and fought for 10 years to establish the American Red Cross. She more than deserves to be shown next to Abraham Lincoln and all other important civil war heroes.

For white and black people only

No Asian representation. Basically just reinforces that stereotype that white and black women are the ones making change for female empowerment and freedom.

Why it said “he” instead of“she”?

LOVE this

This app is amazing and I am so glad to have found it because o had no idea how little we learn about historical women in school and this is also great because I love reading about women throughout history but a lot of the women in this app I have never heard of so it’s really great they these incredible people are getting even a little recognition 😄😄😄

Fun quick reference

I like reading quick references about Herstory. I would love to see Ruth Bader Ginsburg added and Jane Addams who is the mother of social work and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
