How often had I sped past them as I learned of male achievement and men’s place in the history books?

History is full of fabulous females who have been systematically ignored, forgotten or simply written out of the records. They’re not all saints, they’re not all geniuses, but they do deserve remembering.” —Sandi Toksvig, ‘Top 10 unsung heroines’ (via ceedling)
