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.

“Barrier Breakers”

Gertrude Ederle swam the English Channel in 1926 — faster than any man before her.

She didn’t just cross the channel.

She drowned a few stereotypes on the way.

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