Hi Everyone — Welcome to TheSheRecords I’m building a corner of the internet dedicated to one thing: women who changed the world long before the world was ready. Scientists. Activists. Innovators. Rebels. Geniuses. The icons you know — and the legends textbooks completely fumbled.

Lubna of Córdoba ran a library of 500,000 manuscripts in the 10th century.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone 🍁

For today's post, I wanted to share a very interesting one of how today became the holiday it is. Very interesting read.

"The Woman who made it a holiday"

The reason the U.S. has a national Thanksgiving Day at all is largely one woman: editor and writer
