When we think of powerful women in ancient history, figures like Cleopatra and Catherine the Great often come to mind. But one woman who deserves more recognition for her political savvy and intelligence is Valeria Messalina, the third wife of Emperor Claudius in ancient Rome. Previously known only as the biggest slut in Roman history, a modern-day perspective suggests a more nuanced and complex personality than the one-dimensional caricature presented in some historical accounts.
Clara Lemlich Shavelson was a Ukrainian-born American labor organizer and activist who fought tirelessly for workers' rights and women's suffrage. Her impact on the labor movement, women's rights, and social justice in America serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity.
