Hi Everyone — Welcome to TheSheRecords I’m building a corner of the internet dedicated to one thing: women who changed the world long before the world was ready. Scientists. Activists. Innovators. Rebels. Geniuses. The icons you know — and the legends textbooks completely fumbled.

They crunched numbers.
And rebuilt the rules.

Joan Clarke helped crack Nazi Enigma codes in WWII.

Her math shortened the war & saved lives — then got buried under ‘classified’ & ‘boys’ club.’

Codebreaker. Cryptanalyst.
The movie credits barely scratched the surface.

Emmeline Pankhurst turned ‘votes for women’ into a battle cry.

Grace Hopper coined the term ‘computer bug’ and helped invent modern programming languages.

Her work made it possible to talk to computers with words instead of wires.

Maria Mitchell spotted a ‘new’ comet in 1847 from her rooftop.

She didn’t just wish on stars.

She found new ones.
