Marie Stopes was a British paleobotanist and writer who made great strides in some women’s rights and established the first birth control clinic in Britain. The Albanian-Indian Catholic nun known as Mother Teresa established Missionaries of Charity to help people who, in her own words, “feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society.” These figures are just two of the biographies of influential women who have helped shape the world we live in.
