15 Women Influencers Before the Internet

Por: Dr. Roch, El 14 abril, 2023

Women have always been figures of power, but before the influencer phenomenon, women were transparent in a society built by and for men. However, I am going to list all the women who have made a difference in different periods of society that should not be overlooked.

1. Cleopatra | VII – 69 B.C. – August 12, 30 B.C.

Her full name was Cleopatra Philopator Nea Thea, and she was the last queen of ancient Egypt and the Ptolemaic dynasty. She marked the end of the Hellenistic period in Egypt. Testimonies of the time show that her attractiveness did not lie in her beauty, but in a captivating and fascinating personality.

Hypatia of Alexandria was the first woman known to have cultivated science and philosophy. She excelled in the fields of mathematics, astronomy and philosophy and led the Neoplatonic School of Alexandria in the early 5th century. Hypatia paved the way for a long list of women scientists who have contributed to the world with their intellect.

3. Eleanor of Aquitaine | 1120 – 1204

Eleanor was born Duchess of Aquitaine and Guiana, but her marriages soon made her Queen Consort of France and later of England. Her marriages complicated her life and kept her involved in government affairs until the end of her life.
