@BHSInspired Absolutely! If it’s not on there already, Testament Of Youth by Vera Brittain should go in the woman’s library at school - it tells how hard nurses worked during WW1

Visited Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery today with Boston High School Y9 students,& found the grave of nurse Nellie Spindler, the only woman to be buried there. ‘A noble type of good heroic womanhood’ written on her grave. @BHSInspired #history #WW1

Michelle Obama, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, intellectual property lawyer and devoted mother, we’re not sure that there’s anything Michelle Obama cannot do. Obama is an inspiration to young girls everywhere, who she encourages to ‘spread your wings and soar’.

Audrey Hepburn. There was nothing Audrey Hepburn couldn’t do: she was classy and beautiful, a humanitarian, dancer, actress and member of the Dutch Resistance. She taught us endless optimism: ‘Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible!

Judi Dench, acted consistently for over 60 years and, contrary to popular belief, originated the role of Sally Bowles in Cabaret. The role doesn’t matter,only the performance: Judi’s Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her 8 minutes of screen time in Shakespeare in Love proves this

Mary McLeod Bethune was a Civil rights campaigner who sought better educational opportunities for African-American girls. She was known as the ‘First Lady of the Struggle’, She never rested in her fight for civil rights even when it seemed like the whole country was against her.

Anna Freud was a celebrated psychoanalyst and founded a nursery in London to look after babies and children who had been separated from their families during WW2. A difficult childhood, where Freud suffered mental health issues, did not prevent her from flourishing later in life.
