Millicent Garrett Fawcett (June 11, 1847 - August 5, 1929) spent a major part of her life campaigning for the right of women to vote. She helped to form the National Union of Women Suffrage Societies and became its president in 1907. She worked through political pressure rather than joining in the loud public marches of the time. Women first participated in the election of December 1918.  (Hi, Primoz, I'm glad they arrived safely!) |

My wife just commented that Imelda Marcos was more 'infamous' than 'famous'. Jadwiga, the youngest daughter of Louis I of Hungary and of Elizabeth of Bosnia, was crowned KING of Poland on 16 October 1384 & died on 17 July 1399 after having given birth to a daughter. Queens who reigned in their own right were uncommon in Europe at the time so she was officially crowned a king rather than queen. She is an important link in the transition of the Polish monarchy from the old House of Piast to the Jagiellon dynasty which was Lithuanian in origin.  With her husband King Jagiello    |
