“Unlocking Secrets: What This Stunning Discovery Means for the Future”
12. Ruth Handler
Does your daughter adore her Barbie doll? Did you have one as a child? We all owe our thanks to Ruth Handler, the American businesswoman who created the iconic Barbie doll. Barbie revolutionized the toy industry and offered a new form of imaginative play for children around the world.
Inspired by watching her daughter, Barbara, play with paper dolls, Handler realized the need for a more adult-like doll that would allow children to envision their future.
13. Harriet Tubman
We can’t talk about history without mentioning Harriet Tubman. The American abolitionist and political activist was best known for her role as a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad—a network of secret routes and safe houses used to help enslaved African Americans escape to free states and Canada.
Her courage and resourcefulness earned her the nickname “Moses,” a testament to her leadership and dedication. In addition to her work with the Underground Railroad, Tubman served as a spy, nurse, and cook for the Union Army during the American Civil War.
