Instead of linking a clickbait list, I would have liked if you just have given us the list 😉

1 Sybil Lundington (1761-1839) hero of the US war of Independence (A bronze sculpture of her is depicted, so she can't really be forgotten, can she?)

2 Elizabeth Jenning (1830-1901), protested segregation in NY 1854 (!)

3 Ida Wells (1862-1931) writer, suffragist and civil rights activist in the USA

4 Marie Stopes (1880-1958) received a PhD in botany 1904 (Universität München) pioneer of birth control in UK

5 Clara Maass (1876-1901) fighting against yellow fever starting with the Spanish-American war

6 Charlotte Edith Anderson Monture (1890-1996) first native Canadian woman to become a Nurse, serving in WW 1

7 Chien-Shiung Wu (1912-1997) "First Lady of Physics", participant of Manhatten Project

8 Nancy Grace Roman (b. 1925) "Mother of Hubble", succesful astro-phycisist

9 Wangari Maathis (1940-2011) first African woamn to win the Nobel Prize

10 Sylvia Ray Riviera (1951-2002) transgender activist

What strikes is that 7 women on the lsit are from the USA
One each from CAnada, the United Kingdom and Kenya.

It is save to assume that Wanagri Maathi is not forgotten in Africa as a whole and not in Kenya specifically.

Marie Stopes is certainly not forgotten in UK.
In UK they provide contraception, abortions, promote sexual health etc.
I believe they have a charitable arm which helps Irish girls get to UK for abortions.

You know, it's the same with the Miss Universe contest, it seems for some strange reason someone from Earth wins every time!

11. Rosa Parks. I hope not forgotten.

12. Florence Nightingale, (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910), English social reformer and the founder of modern nursing - hopefully not forgotten.

Probably a better Mathematician than nurse or social reformer.

Also she is not forgotten as she has passed into mythology as your post demonstrates.

mathematician or Economist? She sure could do the numbers, but she probably added not much to the methods, did she?
