Mary Cassatt: Mary Cassatt had always been an independent thinker. But once she became a member of the radical group of artists known as the Impressionists, she sidestepped expectations of gender (and the traditional rules of artistic expression), and forged a singular style that was all her own. by The History Chicks

Althea Gibson Part 2: After decades of struggle against obstacles and expectations that would defeat most of us, Althea Gibson achieved international success in the world of tennis; breaking the color barrier at Wimbledon, and opening the game to future generations of players. She built many bridges and fought the good fight in many fields of endeavor - we only wish that her admirers had made sure that Althea realized during her lifetime what an impact she had made on the world. by The History Chicks

Jessie Tarbox Beals: According to Jessie Tarbox Beals - the first female photojournalist in the world - the key to success is mostly HUSTLE. In her case, it looked like this: arrive in a new town, set up a darkroom, canvas the populace, ingratiate yourself, SNAP SNAP SNAP, develop, print, deliver, catch the train as it's pulling out of the station... Be in the right place at the right time. Make your own opportunities. repeat repeat repeat by The History Chicks

But beginning in 1950, a powerful and charismatic African American athlete named Althea Gibson began to smash tennis' color lines, one after another. by The History Chicks

Alice Roosevelt Longworth Part 2: Alice Roosevelt Longworth was once the most famous woman in the world.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth Part 1: President Theodore Roosevelt had many challenges during his career, but perhaps the greatest challenge he faced was a volcano in a blue dress, his eldest daughter - flouter of convention, spicy of demeanor, and perhaps the world’s first media superstar…who admirers across the world came to call America’s “Princess Alice.” by The History Chicks
