Today is...International Women's Day

As i knew it was International Women's Day today and i would be asked a few thousand times by my male colleagues when International Men's Day was, i looked it up this morning so i could reply 'November 19th, enjoy it won't you'.
It is said that if you look hard enough you can find a good man in every corner of the World which falls down when you consider the Earth is round so that argument is flawed and while men can point to the many accomplishments they have achieved, women have given birth to every man that has ever been born so stick that in your man-bag and smoke it.
Anyway, today is the day that we celebrate all things with boobs and wombs but who are some of the most famous bra wearers in history?
Even though she would be 606 if she was alive today, Joan Of Arc would need to be included on any list which is remarkable when you think she didn't reach her 20th Birthday.
Anne Frank was even younger, a mere 16, but her tragically short life, cut short in a German concentration camp, is known throughout the Globe.
Queen's Elizabeth I and Victoria would have to gain a mention as would Russian Queen Catherine The Great and the cake eating Marie Antoinette.
From politics, the most well known would have to be Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher while Emmeline Pankhurst is truly deserving of a mention in any list of History's most famous women as would Rosa Parks who gained fame through a single bus trip home from work in 1955.
Literature has given us giants such as Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, the Brönte sisters, Enid Blyton, Virginia Woolf and Beatrix Potter and Amelia Earhart is known throughout the World as is Mother Teresa and Florence Nightingale.
Double Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie work's contributed substantially to shaping the world of medicine and if all things where fair she would be the most famous women in history but if we use the criteria of most famous, meaning most well known, i would have to plump for the Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra who is responsible for more donkey milk baths than anyone in history.
