I promised to write about how I started to understand the power of the Free Culture License and why we should use it. But somehow lately I am always too busy to sit down and write about this important topic.

We had a wonderful time at One Spark Berlin - Europe's first Crowdfunding Festival! It was a lot of fun and we had so much great feedback and interesting conversations.

Hypatia, Ancient Alexandria’s Great Female Scholar

Dear friends of Amazing Women of History,

I am getting ready for travelling to Berlin to present the project at  One Spark Berlin on Saturday! I am nervous and excited and trying to get everything ready.

Britain's Mary Anning (1799 -- 1847) has been called the "greatest fossil-hunter who ever lived.

One Spark Berlin is already happening next saturday, and I am all busy and nervous practicing my pitch.

If you think there are inherent sex differences we can not change anything about, please read Cordelia Fine: Let’s say good-bye to the straw-feminist. And, while she’s leaving, let’s also close the door behind her antithesis, the value-free mouthpiece of scientific facts  first.

"Harriet Tubman escaped slavery to become a leading abolitionist.

Hi there.

I don't have any artwork for you today, but this idea and project isn't about my stuff anyway. What I want this to be is a storytelling conversation and I can't do that on my own. Though I am really curious to see what forms my artworks could evolve to if other people use them.

Ada Lovelace: the short version

- Wrote the world's first computer program in 1843

- Lord Byron's daughter 

- Died age 36 after painful illnesses 

- If she'd lived, maybe the computer age would have started in 1850, not 1950

Today I am in a hurry, and have no time to compile a list of links for you.

So I hope you find out more about Kassia on your own.

If you find great links please let me know in the comments.

"Tereshkova’s mission was to orbit the earth for 24 hours and to conduct a number of tests on herself to collect data on the female body’s reaction to spaceflight.

The first story and artwork I want to share with you is about Jeanne Baret or Jeanne Baré. She is the first woman known to ever circumnavigate the globe. It was 1766 and she traveled disguised as a man.

We think the Free Culture License is awesome. It's the foundation on which this project will be build.

Humans use stories to communicate across time.

Amazing Women of History from celine_keller

Hi there & nice to meet you,

My name is Céline Keller and I would like to tell you about an idea. Like so many ideas, the idea for ‘Amazing Women of History’ lay dormant for quite awhile.

This is a work in progress and I share my thoughts and free artwork as the project evolves.

My apologies in advance for all the spelling and grammar mistakes.

No time for proof reading right now, but decided getting it out there is the more important step.
