Awesome Stuff Women Did

Because women have done more in the past 10,000 years than just pop out babies and make sandwiches.

DISCLAIMER: We make no claim that all women featured here are saints. They did awesome stuff; the women themselves might not have been. Keep that in mind before sending angry notes.

Awww... kinda hate to hear about the name change. I hope u dont censor things for the sake of the kiddies. I dont really subscribe to the school of thought of "protecting the innocents." I thinks its a bit demeaning to their intellect to say that kids arent ready for certain pieces of info. Just a word of caution... and encouragement! Love ur blog!!!

Here’s the thing— I was swearing like a sailor at 13, and I’m quite sure a lot of kids today are the same.  But if librarians or teachers want to point their students this way, I want them to be able to say the blog’s name without getting fired.  Besides, this isn’t Badass of the Week or Cracked— sure, we all deliver awesome historical fact, but they’re aiming for a bit of a laugh, whereas I’m going for epiphany.  I don’t need to swear to get my point across (and rarely do as it is), so I really feel that at this point it was holding me back more than it could possibly be helping.
