On a more optimistic note, I stumbled across this nice little tribute page for Women's History Month put together on MSN.com. They have lists of "famous firsts" by women, 18 women who have changed the world, and 10 women you have never heard of but are worth learning about. Of course, they also have a list of "cringe-worthy" women, which wasn't particularly necessary, but Ann Coulter is on it, which makes it almost worthwhile.

It's a nice, easy way to brush up on your women's history, while appreciating all the amazing ladies that made this world that much better to live in.
