Super cool women doing inspiring things off bikes

this is a thread about women from yesteryear and today doing inspiring things not on their bicycles. women that have changed perception. there are so many unsung heroins. this is the thread to teach/remind each other of who they are.
women from science , business , politics , aviation , teaching , sport , your mum , your nan. women who at the top of their game can teach us something about what they do and in a small way help us get more out of what we do. celebrate.

this put a smile on my face.
