Excerpt: 

This site has biographies of women who contributed to our culture in many different ways. There are writers, educators, scientists, heads of state, politicians, civil rights crusaders, artists, entertainers, and others. Some were alive hundreds of years ago and some are living today. We've heard of some of them, while many more have been ignored by history book writers. I'd like to acknowledge as many as I can.

Annotation: 

This text only, one-page site provides a helpful compendium of links to Web materials on prominent women in the history of medicine, nursing and related fields. The site includes women from as early as the eleventh century, and there are over 60 entries. Several of the most famous women, such as Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton have a half-dozen or more sites listed. At the bottom of the page are a few links to other sites on women in the history of health and medicine. There are no images or biographical material on this site, just links.
