And I remember hearing about a woman named Horney in psychology.

Pepin III, known as "the short," son of Charles "The Hammer" Martel & progenitor of Charlemagne.
JS Mill, who I'm currently running a line of ads along the lines of "J Lo & J Mo" with for a school magazine.

Ida B. Wells




How could Ida B. Wells, the women whom crusaded against lynching, be funny! If that's funny, then I guess Ida B. Tarbell is too, the women whom wrote The History of the Standard Oil Company (exposing monopoly and trust coruption!)
