If people need suggestions of women to research when its their turn to present the 'Advert Break' below are a few suggestions from off the top of my head... obvs there are 1000's more from all four corners of the world!
The Advert Break is a 5-10 minute presentation of the life/works of a fabulous female from history whose work may have been overshadowed. She could be someone you admire or think other people should know about, someone who was influential and now is forgotten or someone from the present day who isn't getting the exposure they deserve. They don't have to be perfect and nor do you have to agree with everything they said and the presentation can take any form you wish.
