Valentina Nikolaeva-Tereshkova:

On June 16, 1963, Valentina became the first woman in space and the first non-testpilot cosmonaut in the Vostok 6. She orbited the Earth 48 times in 71 hours. She landed back on Earth on June 19 and after that experience, she left the program.
-
She handed out her space-rations to on-lookers at the landing site, it is claimed, in order to cover up the fact she did not eat enough during the flight.

Sarah Grand, author of "The Heavenly Twins"

...born in Ireland in 1854...a leading figure in late nineteenth-century feminism of social and moral purity. Her fiction explores the possibilities of female emancipation in the public sphere of education and career. At the same time she endorsed marriage and motherhood of the highest standard exacted by the sexually selective woman of the future. Her belief in female evolutionary superiority was often expressed in a moral eugenics toward the regeneration of the race and nation.
Having failed to find a publisher for her first novel Ideala (1888) she printed it herself, seven years after its completion.
["The Heavenly Twins"]...a controversial bestseller in England and the United States...This triple decker novel in deploring sexual ignorance and hypocrisy in marriage gave a disturbing depiction of a syphilitic wife and baby. The eponymous twins, Angelica and Diablo, served to question gender roles; 'The Tenor and the Boy' is a cross-dressing episode in which Angelica tells the tenor that as “the Boy” she has enjoyed, “free intercourse with your masculine mind undiluted by your masculine prejudices and proclivities with regard to my sex”...In the late 1890's, at the end of the New Woman novel's heyday, Grand was lecturing and campaigning widely in England and America on women's suffrage...After moving to Bath in 1920, she served as mayoress during 1922-29.

Tishcohan and Lapowinsa were chiefs of the Lenape Tribe. They were signers of the Walking Purchase Treaty of 1735/37 in which William Penn's sons, John and Thomas, acquired a vast track of land in Pennsylvania. The Penns claimed that they had a deed dating to the 1680s in which the Lenape Tribe had promised to sell a tract of land beginning between the junction of the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers (near Wrightstown, Pennsylvania) "as far west as a man could walk in a day and a half." Chiefs Lapowinsa, Tishcohan and other leaders of the Lenape tribe believed that the treaty was genuine and also assumed that about 40 miles was the most a man could walk through the wilderness in a day and a half. James Logan hired the three fastest runners in Pennsylvania (Edward Marshall, Solomon Jennings and James Yeates) to run out the purchase on a pre-surveyed trail. The three runners covered almost 70 miles and the Penns acquired 1,200,000 acres of land, an area roughly equivalent to the state of Rhode Island. The Lenape tried unsuccessfully for almost 20 years to have the agreement overturned; they were forced to vacate the land and move to the Shamokin and Wyoming valleys.
