| 1 | 1 | Edie | Mathews | f | Lughod's body of work is grounded in long-term ethnographic research in Egypt, and is especially concerned with the intersections of culture and power, as well as gender and women's rights in the Middle East. Between the late 1970s and the mid-1980s, while she was still a graduate student, Lughod spent time living with the Bedouin Awlad 'Ali tribe in Egypt. She stayed with the head of the community, and lived in his household alongside his large family for a cumulative two years. Her first two books, Veiled Sentiments: Honor and Poetry in a Bedouin Society and Writing Women's Worlds, are based on this fieldwork. Both books draw on her experiences living with the Bedouin women and her research into their poetry and storytelling. She explores the way that ghinnawas, songs in a poetic form that she compares to haiku and the blues, express the cultural "patterning" of the society, especially with regard to the relations between women and men. Abu-Lughod has described a reading group that she attended while teaching at Williams College – its other members included Catharine A. MacKinnon, Adrienne Rich, and Wendy Brown – as a formative engagement with the field of women's studies and a major influence on these early books. Abu-Lughod spent time as a scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study, with Judith Butler, Evelyn Fox Keller, and Donna Haraway. She also taught at New York University, where she worked on a project, funded by a Ford Foundation grant, intended to promote a more international focus in women's studies. Her 2013 book, Do Muslim Women Need Saving? investigates the image of Muslim women in Western society. It is based on her 2002 article of the same name, published in American Anthropologist. The text examines post-9/11 discussions on the Middle East, Islam, women's rights, and media.

| 5 | 5 | Christy | Generazio | f | Ames is a self-taught writer. Her short story "Tomorrow's Much Too Long" placed third in Hyphen's first Erotic Writing Contest in 2013. Ames first published The Dom Project with Carina Press with another author, Heloise Belleau in 2013. The main character was a tall, "tattooed Asian bad-boy Dom." Ames's first solo book, The Submission Gift, released in 2014, was reviewed by Publishers Weekly, which called it a "nuanced look at polyamory and BDSM." In the story, a husband hires a rent boy as a "gift" to his wife. He does this because he has just recovered from a bad car accident and can't provide a full sex life for his wife any longer. Her second solo publication, The Companion Contract, released in 2015, was also favorably reviewed by Publishers Weekly. This book is about a woman who works as a pornography actress, but wants to move onto another career and another place in her life. Ames always makes a point to include safe sex practices in her writing whether this includes using condoms or partners being regularly screened for sexually transmitted infections (STI). When Ames first started writing romance novels, she wanted to create multicultural stories. She says that "Characters aren't as real to me if I don't understand where they come from." Ames also stresses how treating multiculturalism in erotica must be rooted in a sense of personhood, rather than "fetishizing" or objectifying the person for their differences. | Ames's father was a Japanese citizen, and her mother was raised in the United States: each had different expectations on how to raise their daughter. Ames has characterized them as "anarcho-hippies". Growing up, Ames felt that she was often fetishized by men who viewed Asian women as sex objects. During her early twenties, she worked in a strip club in order to make money, though she doesn't "talk about it much after because of the stigma". Ames is married and has children. | Generazio is a self-taught writer. Her short story "Tomorrow's Much Too Long" placed third in Hyphen's first Erotic Writing Contest in 2013.

| 8 | 8 | Mitch | Tenuta | m | Armstrong founded and ran an orphanage in Platte County, Nebraska, as a young doctor. She became a medical missionary in India as a single woman in 1886, serving with her sister Willimina L. Armstrong, and later with her husband, Methodist clergyman George Armstrong-Hopkins. She founded and directed a hospital and a nurses' training school at Khetwadi from 1887 to 1889. She was physician in charge at Lady Atchison Hospital in Lahore and a hospital in Hyderabad, Sindh from 1889 to 1893. From 1893 to 1895, she was on the staff of a hospital in Omaha. She sponsored several Indian students to attend college in the United States. The Armstrong-Hopkinses went to Bombay in 1912; she retired from the mission field after her husband's death in 1918. In 1899, Armstrong-Hopkins sued her superior, Methodist bishop James Mills Thoburn, for slander. She sued him again in 1907 for libel, and won an award of $500. Thoburn had claimed that Armstrong-Hopkins was spending lavishly on dresses, stockings, shoes, and hats for her Indian patients. She held a medical license in Nebraska from 1894, but was refused a license to practice in Washington, D. C. in 1903, when the district's board of medical supervisors questioned her credentials and asked her to sit for an examination. Books by Armstrong-Hopkins included Within the Purdah (1898), Fruit of Suffering (a book of poems), Pork and Mustard, and Khetwadi Castle (1900). She gave lectures on her experiences in India to women's groups and at church events. | In 1893, Saleni Armstrong married George Franklin Hopkins (1855-1918), as his second wife.

| 13 | 13 | Wendy | Popović | f | In 1968, several years after graduating from Becker, Barrett got a job as a legal secretary working for Herb Kelleher when he was a young lawyer at Wilbur Matthews’ law firm in San Antonio. Kelleher had a reputation as a skilled, but chronically disorganized lawyer, whose office was in such disarray that a night guard at the firm once called the police assuming a break in had occurred. Barrett's first duty was to set up a filing system to organize ten years-worth of his case files. She grew to play a pivotal role in keeping Kelleher organized, setting him up for his eventual success as both a lawyer and businessman over their 51-year working relationship. Despite the title of secretary, Barrett was treated as an equal and trusted advisor who regularly joined Kelleher in court. When Kelleher left Matthews’ law firm to help found the law firm of Oppenheimer, Rosenberg, Kelleher & Wheatley in 1970, Barrett moved with him. In 1967, Kelleher had met with Rollin King, who had pitched the initial business plan for Southwest Airlines and the two had begun their efforts to begin the company. Kelleher's role was largely focused on serving as legal counsel to the new airline during the many early court battles the airline faced before beginning service. Barrett was closely involved with every step of the legal process. After four years of court battles they succeeded and the first Southwest Airlines flight finally took off June 18, 1971. For the first seven years of operation, Kelleher and Barrett supported Southwest through continued legal support as Kelleher remained an active lawyer, though also with a seat on the Southwest board. However, after a leadership restructure in 1978, Kelleher became chairman of the board and temporary CEO (becoming full-time CEO in 1981). Kelleher brought Barrett with him once again and she remained his secretary and advisor.

| 49 | 49 | Jarry | Wooton | f | In 1956, Brown left Antioch College in Ohio for one year to attend the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. There, she began to study etching. After graduating from Antioch College in 1958, Brown returned to the Central School for another year to fine-tune her technique. In addition, she participated in The Print Workshop at 28 Charlotte Street, run by Birgit Skiold. In the summer of 1959, while on a holiday trip to Edinburgh, Brown noticed an old etching press in the backyard of her rooming house. The landlady offered the press to Brown, saying it had been there since World War II. With the etching press in tow, Brown booked passage on a freighter going to San Francisco from Glasgow via the Panama Canal. In 1962, Brown started Crown Point Press in a storefront space in Richmond, California. The following year she bought a house in Berkeley and ran the printmaking workshop out of her basement. In 1965, Brown began publishing the etching portfolios of Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud. The Press moved into a vacant hat factory on San Pablo Avenue in Oakland in 1971 and then to Folsom Street in San Francisco in 1986. Unfortunately, the Folsom Street space was lost in the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. In 1990, Crown Point moved to 20 Hawthorne Street in San Francisco where it resides today. In recent years, Brown has shifted much of her focus to writing and left the day-to-day operations of the press to director Valerie Wade who is a partner in the business.

I got an internship at the Associated Press, and learned a lot about government and writing journalism there”. Burleigh refers to her time as an intern as instrumental for learning "real reporting." Burleigh covered the White House for Time in the 1990s. In the 2000s she was a staff writer at People magazine in New York, covering human interest stories nationally. She was an adjunct professor of journalism at Columbia University, and is also a guest lecturer at the University of Agder, and wrote "The Bombshell" column for the New York Observer, and was a contributing editor to Elle. She is an occasional blogger at The Huffington Post. She has contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers, including Time magazine, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, and The Guardian, as well as many websites such as Slate magazine, TomPaine.com, AlterNet, Powell's Salon.com, and GEN/Medium. Burleigh attributes her extensive range of journalistic topics by firsthand experience, instructive in maintaining an open outlook, describing a journey to the Mexico border where she witnessed migrants being located to shelters provided by an altruistic private benefactor. Burleigh has written extensively on feminism, issues of human trafficking, domestic violence, and double standards for violence against women, American women and power and politics. She coined the term "Baby Palins” to refer to the young right wing women who decry feminism while benefiting from its gains.

She discovered that the inside was very beautiful with stained glass windows, but the programs she picked up changed her mind, they were "urging parishioners to contact their lawmakers about fetal rights, gay marriage and other favorite fundamentalist issues. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. I gathered up the toddler, who was fascinated by the place and didn't want to leave, and scurried back into daylight." In a 1998 essay for Mirabella, Burleigh described an occasion aboard Air Force One when she noticed President Bill Clinton apparently looking at her legs. The piece led to her being described as "the Ally McBeal of former White House reporters" by columnist Ellen Goodman. During a subsequent interview with a Washington Post media reporter to discuss the Mirabella article, Burleigh offered to perform a sex act on then President Clinton, stating “I would be happy to give him a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their Presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs.” Referring to the comment in a 2007 piece for The Huffington Post, Burleigh wrote, "I said it (back in 1998, but a good quote has eternal life) because I thought it was high time for someone to tweak the white, middle-aged beltway gang taking Clinton to task for sexual harassment.

| 85 | 85 | Suzie | Blasingame | f | In her mid-forties, Sallie Cotten accepted an appointment from governor Elias Carr to serve as one of North Carolina's managers at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. "I had never traveled much, and felt utterly unprepared," she confessed to the Charlotte Observer, "but I soon felt at home...and I found that the years of home duties had fitted me for the fields of larger service." She decided to focus on books written by North Carolina women for her part of the exhibit, spent four months in Chicago, and received a medal for her contributions. This work and the travel involved led her to greater involvement with the women's club movement, and in 1902 she helped to organize the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs. She was the organization's fifth president (1912-1913), and wrote the federation's anthem. She was one of the organizers of the National Congress of Mothers (later the National Parent-Teacher Association), and was an officer of the national organization from 1897 to 1906. In 1925 she published The History of the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs, 1901-1925, with the opening line "What has been known as the Woman's Movement was a revolution — bloodless but not purposeless." Among her other publications were The White Doe (1901), an epic poem about Virginia Dare, which she often presented in public readings; and What Aunt Dorcas Told Little Elsie (1923), a collection of "Negro folklore stories" which reflected the condescending racial attitudes of a nostalgic white Southerner in her time. | Sallie Southall married Col.

Crews' tales typically focus on her childhood in the deep woods of Montgomery, Texas, where she lived in everything from a tin shed to a trailer to the tin shed again. Crews has performed at most of NYC's top indie comedy venues, including Joe's Pub, Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, The Peoples Improv Theater, The Bitter End, Comix NY, and famed literary venue KGB (bar); and at such shows at The Moth, Risk!, Seth Herzog's Sweet, UCBT's School Night, Liam McEneaney's Tell Your Friends, and the NY/LA comedy show Mortified. In October 2007, Crews created the alternative performance space Ochi's Lounge. Located in the lower level of Comix, Ochi's regularly featured open mics, produced shows and guest appearances by stars such as David Cross, Zach Galifianakis, Jim Gaffigan, John Oliver, Mike Daisey, Adam Wade and her husband Christian Finnegan.

| 97 | 97 | Carol | Wall | f | In 1883 Cleveland was based in Pierre, South Dakota when she became the first woman to practice law in the Dakota Territory.

She also raised funds for a Presbyterian university to be built in South Dakota. Having passed the civil service examination in 1885, she worked for the U. S. Treasury Department from 1886 until 1911, as a post office inspector, and lived in Washington, D. C. after 1888. Cleveland wrote two novels set in Washington D. C., See-Saw: or Civil Service in the Departments (1887) and His Honor; or Fate's Mysteries: A Thrilling Realistic Story of the United States Army (1889). See-Saw was considered barely fictional, based as it was so closely on her own experiences with the civil service. "Miss Cynthia E. Cleveland's life is identical with that of her heroine," observed the Chicago Tribune, "except her description of herself, which is entirely different."
