    Very interesting history.

    We can't all be first at something so it's great to see just how many women business pioneers there have been, great series :-)

    Thanks for the suggestions, Lisa. But I really want this to be the first woman, not the first of a certain type of woman. It's totally random choice of where to draw the line, but I had to stop somewhere to maintain my sanity!! There are so many great women out there.

    Love the series, Susan! Oprah has a number of firsts you could use here - first African-American woman to make the Forbes list of billionaires, first African American woman to get listed on BusinessWeek's list of Americas Top Philanthropists, or first African-American woman talk show host to get national syndication. There are probably others, too, but those are three I found. :-)

    I would love to include both of them as they are amazing business women, but this is not about great business women, but about the first time a woman did something in business. Neither of them hold that distinction that I can find.

    It would be nice to have some of the more recent prominent women on here. Oprah Winfrey and Madonna come to mind. Otherwise: great lens :)
