Today I learned that in the first Olympics that had women’s weightlifting, the united states weightlifter (who was 17 years old) set a U.S. record that hasn’t been beaten. She’s one of the most decorated female athletes in U.S history.

Her name is Cheryl Haworth, and this is her:

And this is her and her wife:

Charla Harlow, 32, and Angela Harlow-Rothschild, 34, got hitched at the Weeksville Heritage Center in Brooklyn’s historic Weeksville neighborhood, one of the first free black communities in the U.S. They were married on May 28, 2016 on the grounds where some of the original homes built by the free black residents of Weeksville still remain.

Dragon’s Head Nebula NGC 2035

NGC 2035 can be found in the Large Magellanic Cloud dwarf galaxy that circles our Milky Way galaxy at around 150,000 light years from us. It is an emissions nebula, so is glowing from interaction with ultra violet light of nearby stars. 

look at andromache and quynh’s costumes in the old guard. because we should totally talk about it and how these characters aren’t sexualized one bit during the entire film. no breast plates. no thigh high slits. no bare midriffs. just warriors wearing clothes designed to protect them in a fight. clothes that represents their character, their origin, not designed to please the male gaze. this is why we need more women in the industry. the old guard is directed by a black woman, produced by women, and has strong lead female characters. support.

Out of the nearly 3,500 Medal of Honor recipients, only one was a woman. Dr. Mary Walker was an American abolitionist, prohibitionist, prisoner of war, and surgeon. 

Mary’s parents encouraged her to pursue an education and in 1855, she graduated as a medical doctor from Syracuse Medical College. In fact, Mary was the first woman to ever graduate from the college. Then when the Civil War broke out, she wanted to join the army as a surgeon. However, since she was a woman, she wasn’t allowed. Instead, Mary volunteered for the Union Army, working for free at the temporary hospital set up in Washington D.C. In 1863, Mary’s medical credentials were accepted and she moved to Tennessee where she became a War Department surgeon. Then the following year, Mary was captured and held as a prisoner of war for around four months. Mary was finally released during an exchange of prisoners of war.

In addition to her efforts during the war, Mary was also an advocate for women’s rights. At the time, women weren’t allowed to wear clothing that was supposedly designed for me. Mary started to wear whatever clothing she wanted and was arrested for “impersonating” a man. During her arrest, an officer twisted her arm and asked her if she had ever had sex with a man. Mary opposed to women being expected to wear long skirts and petticoats, arguing that they spread dirt and dust.  Mary wasn’t well liked by leading suffragists such as Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia Mott who claimed she was giving the “wrong image” for her clothing style.

Then in 1895, Mary was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Andrew Johnson despite the fact Mary was a civilian who had never been a commissioned officer in military service. That’s why in 1917, Mary’s medal was rescinded. Mary refused to give up her Medal of Honor and continued to wear it until she died two years later. Sixty years later, Mary’s Medal of Honor was restored.

One of my favourite twitter trending topics I’ve seen in a while: #GirlsWithToys.

This came as a response to an Astronomer’s remarks that Scientists are ‘boys with toys’.

Glad to see such a strong response from the women of STEM. :)
