The “Distinguished Women of Past and Present” website is a resource that celebrates and highlights women that have left an indelible print in the annals of history. Featured women include writers, educators, scientists, politicians, and entertainers.
Civil right crusaders are also spotlighted. As the webmaster points out, some are very well-known, whereas the others have been largely ignored both by historians and the general public. The site aims to acknowledge them, and give these women their rightful place in history. The site can be browsed in several ways, according to what the visitor is looking for. To begin with, it is possible to perform a search by subject. This is carried out by selecting a specific area from a list of fields. These include social activism, arts, sports, and many others. On the other hand, an alphabetical index of names can be perused. The site also features a thorough list of books about women that can be purchased online by means of links to Amazon.com.
