Which Underrated Woman from History are You?
Finally got around to making a uquiz featuring six of my favourite women from history! You can either get someone from the French Revolution, Roman Republic (I know, how unexpected!) or from 1700s/early 1800s.
Featuring scientists, writers, politically active icons and a few poets whose lives were intertwined with theirs, as a treat!
Enjoy and thanks everyone for sharing! ✨

someone on tiktok said that women had never done anything impactful in history so i listed some women, they then said that people like emily davison and emmeline pankhurst didn’t count because gender equality didn’t count???
so then i listed some more academic/science based women and they said this:
(ignore the marie curie typo)
i’m not crazy right? these are some of the most famous women in history, famous for their discoveries and achievements
i’m sorry that you don’t know who they are but your ignorance does not mean that these amazing women did not do what they did??
tell me that you guys know all of these women and it’s common knowledge because i’m pretty sure it is right?
i’m so sick and tired of people thinking they deserve to win arguments using insults and belittlement even though they don’t have the slightest clue what they’re even talking about
edit: stop saying “i only know x but not y and z”. i don’t care, do better.
