March is Women’s History Month, which means it’s time to reflect on women past and present who have helped shape our world. While we at Motto love to highlight the inspiring women of today–like Viola Davis, Hillary Clinton and Elise Stefanik—it’s also important to remember the women who paved the way for our most recent achievements.
You might be able to name-drop RBG and Gloria Steinem, but a lot of groundbreaking women aren’t household names. See how many female firsts you know—and learn more about important (but little-known) women throughout history all month long by checking out TIME’s “Unsung Women” series.
