I don’t dress up for boys. I dress up to stare at my reflection as I walk by store windows.

Born on July 23, 1899, in Springfield, Illinois, Ruth Ellis was the oldest “out” African American lesbian known.

She died in her sleep at her home on October 5, 2000.

RIP Ruth Ellis! You will always be a true icon in the LGBT community and real inspiration!

People will always remember your name! Women’s History Month is for you!

May I join in?

Maria Skłodowska-Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win twice and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences, doesn’t give a single fuck about misogynists saying women shouldn’t ride a bike because they could “get orgasm”.

Lady Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a West African princess and a goddaughter of Queen Victoria, looking unimpressed with your shit circa 1860s.

Alina Janowska, a Polish actress who fought in the Warsaw Uprising. Her codename was Setka (Polish for hundred) because you could count on her one hundred percent. [1944]

Helena Grossówna, another Polish actress and dancer who fought in the Warsaw Uprising. She was a lieutenant in Armia Krajowa (the Home Army, the Polish anti-Nazi resistance movement) and she lead an all-women battalion.

I love this photo of a Polish woman that was taken right after the bombing during the Warsaw Uprising. She’ll fight for freedom AND look fresh AF. [1944]

Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the most successful female sniper and one of the best snipers in history.

Don’t forget that Sally Ride, the first woman in space, was a lesbian!

Josephine Baker was a badass actress, dancer and activist who contributed to the Civil Rights Movement. She was also the first black person to star in a major motion picture.
