When [Women’s History Month](http://time.com/4238999/womens-history-month-history/) rolls around every [March](http://time.com/4252992/american-women-history-places/), much of the attention tends to concentrate on a handful of our impressive female forebears—but they did not change the world alone. Less discussed are women like the tennis champion who also served as a World War II spy, or the Austrian movie star who invented the technology that paved the way for wi-fi.

Test your knowledge of famous women in history with these questions about the [activists](http://time.com/4213751/septima-clark-civil-rights-movement/), [entertainers](http://time.com/4251201/clara-rockmore-theremin/), entrepreneurs and scientists who helped shape the 20th century.
