Helen Sawyer Hogg, Astronomer
Kate Fox, Mystic (seriously?)
Molly Kool, Ship captain
Pearl Hart, robber
Louise McKinney, Prohibitionist
Laura Ingersoll Secord, Patriot
I went through and picked out a variety of professions for you. Check and see if your library has this fantastic resource, or take a look at a few of these women and see if any of them are suitable for your assignment.
