8TH MARCH WOMEN ALONG HISTORY CLEOPATRA – by Alvar ADM 3 Known to history as Cleopatra, she was born in January 69 BC was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, briefly survived as pharaoh by her son Caesarion. After her reign, Egypt became a province of the recently established Roman Empire. Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, a Greek family of Macedonian origin[6] that ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great's death during the Hellenistic period. The Ptolemies spoke Greek[7] throughout their dynasty, and refused to speak Late Egyptian, which is the reason that Greek as well as Egyptian were used on official court documents such as the Rosetta Stone.[8] By contrast, Cleopatra did learn to speak Egyptian[9] and represented herself as the reincarnation of the Egyptian goddess Isis. Cleopatra originally ruled jointly with her father Ptolemy XII Auletes, and later with her brothers Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator and Ptolemy XIV, whom she married as per Egyptian custom, but eventually she became sole ruler. As queen, she consummated a liaison with Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne. She later elevated Caesarion, her son with Caesar, to co-ruler in name. After the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, she aligned with Mark Antony in opposition to Caesar's legal heir, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (later known as Augustus). With Antony, she bore the twins Cleopatra Selene II and Alexander Helios, and son Ptolemy Philadelphus (her unions with her brothers had produced no children). Antony committed suicide after losing the Battle of Actium to Octavian's forces, and Cleopatra followed suit. According to a popular belief, she killed herself by means of an asp bite on August 12, 30 BC.[10] She was outlived by Caesarion, who was declared pharaoh by his supporters, but he was soon killed on Octavian's orders. Egypt then became the Roman province of Aegyptus. Her legacy survives in numerous works of art and many dramatizations of incidents from her life in literature and other media, such as William Shakespeare's tragedy Antony and Cleopatra; George Frideric Handel's opera Giulio Cesare; George Bernard Shaw's play Caesar and Cleopatra; Jules Massenet's opera Cléopâtre; and the films Cleopatra (1934) and Cleopatra (1963).
8TH MARCH WOMEN ALONG HISTORY EMMELINE PANKHURST (1858 - 1928)
Pankhurst was a leading British women's rights activist, who led the movement to win the right for women to vote. Emmeline Goulden was born on 14 July 1858 in Manchester into a family with a tradition of radical politics. In 1879, she married Richard Pankhurst, a lawyer and supporter of the women's suffrage movement. He was the author of the Married Women's Property Acts of 1870 and 1882, which allowed women to keep earnings or property acquired before and after marriage. His death in 1898 was a great shock to Emmeline. In 1889, Emmeline founded the Women's Franchise League, which fought to allow married women to vote in local elections. In October 1903, she helped found the more militant Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) - an organisation that gained much notoriety for its activities and whose members were the first to be christened 'suffragettes'. Emmeline's daughters Christabel and Sylvia were both active in the cause. British politicians, press and public were astonished by the demonstrations, window smashing, arson and hunger strikes of the suffragettes. In 1913, WSPU member Emily Davison was killed when she threw herself under the king's horse at the Derby as a protest at the government's continued failure to grant women the right to vote. Like many suffragettes, Emmeline was arrested on numerous occasions over the next few years and went on hunger strike herself, resulting in violent force-feeding. In 1913, in response to the wave of hunger strikes, the government passed what became known as the 'Cat and Mouse' Act. Hunger striking prisoners were released until they grew strong again, and then re-arrested. This period of militancy was ended abruptly on the outbreak of war in 1914, when Emmeline turned her energies to supporting the war effort. In 1918, the Representation of the People Act gave voting rights to women over 30. Emmeline died on 14 June 1928, shortly after women were granted equal voting rights with men.

8TH MARCH WOMEN ALONG HISTORY BIOGRAPHY of HYPATHIA Hypatia of Alexandria was the first woman to make a substantial contribution to the development of mathematics. Hypatia was the daughter of the mathematician and philosopher Theon of Alexandria and it is fairly certain that she studied mathematics under the guidance and instruction of her father. It is rather remarkable that Hypatia became head of the Platonist school at Alexandria in about 400 AD. There she lectured on mathematics and philosophy, in particular teaching the philosophy of Neoplatonism. Hypatia based her teachings on those of Plotinus, the founder of Neoplatonism, and Iamblichus who was a developer of Neoplatonism around 300 AD. Plotinus taught that there is an ultimate reality which is beyond the reach of thought or language. The object of life was to aim at this ultimate reality which could never be precisely described. Plotinus stressed that people did not have the mental capacity to fully understand both the ultimate reality itself or the consequences of its existence. Iamblichus distinguished further levels of reality in a hierarchy of levels beneath the ultimate reality. There was a level of reality corresponding to every distinct thought of which the human mind was capable. Hypatia taught these philosophical ideas with a greater scientific emphasis than earlier followers of Neoplatonism. She is described by all commentators as a charismatic teacher. Hypatia came to symbolise learning and science which the early Christians identified with paganism. However, among the pupils who she taught in Alexandria there were many prominent Christians. One of the most famous is Synesius of Cyrene who was later to become the Bishop of Ptolemais. Many of the letters that Synesius wrote to Hypatia have been preserved and we see someone who was filled with admiration and reverence for Hypatia's learning and scientific abilities.

8TH MARCH WOMEN ALONG HISTORY AGUSTINA DE ARAGON- Emilio Agustina Raimunda María Zaragoza and Doménech, called «Agustina de Aragón» (Born in Reus, on March 4, 1786, baptized on March 6, 1786 in Barcelona, died in Ceuta, May 29, 1857), was an advocate of Zaragoza during the Sites, in the War of Spanish Independence.
At the end of the 18th century, his baptism was established without doubt on March 6, 1786 in the city of Barcelona, specifically in the neighborhood of La Ribera, on the street of the Sombrereros.1 Daughter of Francesc Ramón Zaragoza i Labastida, worker, and Raimunda Domènech i Gasull, both natives of Fulleda (Lérida), was baptized on March 6, 1786 in the Basilica of Santa María del Mar in Barcelona. During the siege of this city, Agustina carried out the action that made her famous. After having fallen wounded or killed all the defenders of the door called the Portillo, the French troops were ready to take it to the assault. Agustina, who was taking the food to her husband, taking the wick from the hands of a wounded gunner, managed to shoot cannon at the French troops who were running over the entrance. The legend says that the French assailants, fearing an ambush, fought in retreat, and new defenders came to cover the gap, defending the city once more. The myth of Agustina de Aragón or La Artillera was born, a name that was given to women from then on, which, at a time when heroism was so necessary, came to occupy a prominent place in the pages of the history books of Spain. Again the legend tells that, General Palafox learned of such feat, he sent for the young woman and right there, on the battlefield, he congratulated her and granted the badge of second lieutenant with the use of the shields of distinction with the motto of each one of them: "Defender of Zaragoza" and "Reward of the value and patriotism". The reality is something more sober: Palafox effectively admitted Agustina inside the body of gunners, but as a plain gunner. Probably the appointment was as practical as it was honorary: belonging to the body of gunners gave Agustina the right to eat from the ranch of the soldiers, which was not negligible in a besieged city. Subsequently, however, Agustina would successively get the stripes of Sergeant and Sub-Lieutenant. Agustina did not cease in her efforts to defend her city from the French and actively participated in the defense of other sites in Zaragoza. On February 21, 1809 and after two months of frantic resistance, the city could not hold the pressure of the Napoleonic troops and fell. Agustina was taken prisoner and released in a swap. He toured much of Spain as a cheerleader of the armies, where his deeds had become well known. He participated in multiple combats, including the French siege of Tarragona. His military career concluded at the Battle of Vitoria, with the forces of General Morillo, who extended a certificate for his participation in said battle.3 He married in second marriage in Ceuta with Juan Eugenio Cobos de Mesperuza (I Baron de Cobos de Belchite), having from that marriage a daughter named Carlota. He died at his home on Soberanía Nacional Street (now calle Real) number 37 of Ceuta on May 29, 1857, at 71 years of age, because of a bronchopneumonia, and was buried in the Santa Catalina cemetery of that city . Until 1870 his remains were not transferred to Zaragoza, resting first in the Pilar and, from June 14, 1908, in the chapel of the Annunciation of the Church of Our Lady of Portillo. It is considered as one of the most representative symbols of the Spanish

She received a general education in local schools and some scientific training from her father. She became involved in a students' revolutionary organization and found it prudent to leave Warsaw, then, in the part of Poland dominated by Russia, for Cracow, which at that time was under Austrian rule.

She met Pierre Curie, Professor in the School of Physics in 1894 and in the following year they were married.

She was also appointed Director of the Curie Laboratory in the Radium Institute of the University of Paris, founded in 1914. The importance of Mme. Curie's work is reflected in the numerous awards bestowed on her. She received many honorary science, medicine and law degrees and honorary memberships of learned societies throughout the world. Together with her husband, she was awarded half of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, for their study into the spontaneous radiation discovered by Becquerel, who was awarded the other half of the Prize. In 1911 she received a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, in recognition of her work in radioactivity. She also received, jointly with her husband, the Davy Medal of the Royal Society in 1903 and, in 1921, President Harding of the United States, on behalf of the women of America, presented her with one gram of radium in recognition of her service to science.

THE THIRTEEN ROSES- Alberto
The "Thirteen Roses" were thirteen women between 18 and 29 years old shot against the wall of the cemetery of the Almudena (Madrid) in the early hours of August 5, 1939, due to their militancy in the organization Unified Socialist Youth and their defense of the republican legality after the end of the Spanish Civil War.
Before being sentenced to death by a court martial on charges of "joining the rebellion", the thirteen young women had been taken to police facilities, where they were tortured to obtain information about other members of the clandestine organization, and later, imprisoned in the penitentiary of women of Sales, in Madrid, where they awaited for months a conclusion that was sensed dramatic.
It was the murder of Isaac Gabaldón, commander of the Civil Guard, at the hands of three JSU militants on the night of July 29, 1939, which dynamited the punishment of all the members previously detained, including 14 women, of which only one was saved from the sentence. 48 hours after its ruling, the remaining thirteen were transported in a truck 500 meters from the prison and executed by a firing squad, remaining for the story as the "Thirteen Red Roses" and thus fulfilling the request of one of their farewell missives.
Their names were Carmen Barrero Aguado, Martina Barroso García, Blanca Brissac Vázquez, Pilar Bueno Ibáñez, Julia Conesa Conesa, Adelina García Casillas, Elena Gil Olaya, Virtudes González García, Ana López Gallego, Joaquina López Laffite, Dionisia Manzanero Salas, Victoria Muñoz García and Luisa Rodríguez de la Fuente.

Her advocacy has grown into an international movement.
In early 2009, when she was 11–12, she wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC Urdudetailing her life during the Taliban occupation of Swat.
Since recovering, Yousafzai became a prominent education activist. Based out of Birmingham, she founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit organisation,[9] and in 2013 co-authored I am Malala, an international bestseller.[10] In 2012, she was the recipient of Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize and the 2013 Sakharov Prize.
In 2014, she was announced as the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Kailash Satyarthi, for her struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. Aged 17 at the time, she became the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate
