Uncelebrated Women - Senior Thesis

Mary Chipman Lawrence
The 19-year-old, pregnant, wife of a sea captain who singlehandedly saved their voyage during a bad winter storm while her husband was bedridden with a fever. He assigned her as stand-in captain — and ignored the protests of his crew.
Julie d'Aubigny
An opera singer and swordswoman in 17th century France, Julie, an open bisexual, rescues her lover from a convent her parents sent her away to by sneaking in at the dead of night and setting it on fire.
