Girl Scout’s 100 Most Important Women in History: Herstory 7

BettyJean Downing

Shelby Ellery, created a site www.angelfire.com/anime2/100import/ as a gold award project, the highest award that can be awarded in Girl Scouting that has to take at least  50 hours to complete.  She chose this project  believing  that women aren’t recognized enough.

“I can name so many men that I have been taught by my teachers, but I really can’t name all that many women. This site is a resource for all those people out there who are just like me, no matter what age, curious about how women also affected who people are today and who the world wouldn’t be the same without. Take a moment to choose someone you have never heard of and look through this window into their soul, who they really were or are. By all means, help yourself. And thanks again!”
