  * Long before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus,Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1928) fought to end discrimination andthe terrible crime of lynching and helped found the NAACP, butbecame known as a difficult woman for her refusal to compromise andwas largely lost in the annals of history.

  * Gertrude Bell (1868-1926) had a passion for archaeology andlanguages, and left her privileged world behind to become one ofthe foremost chroniclers of British imperialism in the Middle East,and one of the architects of the modern nation of Iraq. 　　Elizabeth Kerri Mahon is a professional actress and amateurhistory geek.
