About Me
Every single day, women across the world, and over thousands of years, are changing our lives and shaping history.
When we think about our privledge to get an education, to work, to be with a partner of our choosing... none of it would be possible without the help and the voices of some really spectacular feminist leaders. These are just some of the feminists throughout the ages who have made an impact on society. Learn about these BAMFs here! Because of This Woman
Name: Dr. James Barry (formerly Margaret Ann Bulkley)
Dates: 1789-1865
Why They Rocks: Not only was Barry a first class surgeon in the British army, but they were one of the first trans* people to ever gain the rank of Inspector General. In 1926, Barry became the first doctor to perform a Cesarean section in South Africa. They also fought for humanitarian rights including woman’s rights and PoC’s rights.
Because of this woman… Woman and PoC rights in South African hospitals were improved, and there is one more trans* role model for everyone to be proud of.
