Jane Goodall is a remarkably exceptional woman who changed the world of science. Goodall is a “British primatologist and ethnologist… [that] is best known for her groundbreaking work observing chimpanzee behavior in the wild” (Lovelady). She changed what we knew about animals and “she broke all the rules about the study of animals in the wild” (Cameron). She opened the door to a new world of information. She set a goal early in life and accomplished it. Goodall is a great role model for all who want to reach their dreams. Jane Goodall has made great contributions to the world. As a child, Jane had shown strong interest for animals. She was born on April 3, 1934 to Mortimer and Vanne Morris-Goodall in London, England. According to one source, …show more content…
In an interview, Jane Goodall said, “I realized if we don’t help the people, we can’t even try to save the chimps” (Fonda). She has helped the people of Africa by creating programs for empowering women, “algriculture, reforestation, [and] water projects” (Fonda). She also encourages the study of chimpanzees through the Jane Goodall Institute (Lovelady). “Roots and Shoots” is just one program sponsored by the aforementioned institute and is for youth around the globe to provide service to their communities. She has also written books about her observations about chimps, including In the Shadow of Man and The Chimpanzees of Gombe: Patterns of Behavior. Jane Goodall has accomplished great work not only with chimpanzees, but on the world. Jane Goodall has impacted science and our communities. She has received many awards due to her efforts and “more than twenty-three honorary degrees from international universities” (Lovelady). Goodall’s impact can be seen through many, including women and scientists. She continues to share her passions with others and teach to curious minds. Jane has good intentions as she “works for peace and the good treatment of all animals” (Edison). She knew what she wanted at an early age and worked for it.

She was a human being, not a science
Starting at a very young age Jean has had a fascination with science. When he turned 11 he wrote a short paper on the albino sparrow. When he was a teen his papers were being published all around the world. After he graduated he went to the university of Neuchatel to study zoology. He received his Ph.D. in natural sciences in 1918.
From Alfred Noble’s last will and testament, “…the person who shall have done the most or the best for fraternity between nations, for the abolition of reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses…” Many people have been awarded the noble peace prize such as Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Barack Obama, and Martin Luther King Jr. They have done extraordinary things for mankind, but when one women receives the award for displaying similar actions, people begin to question if she really deserved it. Jane Addams was a women that did things to better the lives of people all around the world, like women and children. She was awarded the noble peace prize on December 10, 1931, after years and years of extensive work around the globe.
There are many wonderful people in history, one of those people are Jacqueline Cochran. She had a few jobs but she felt that they were not the ones that she desired the most. She was first to do something, and what she did was something that is inspiring to us. Jacqueline Cochran was a person. She was born in West Florida circa in 1906.
Despites the two varying views on participation, women themselves shared mixed views on what was the best role for them. Marie Meurdrac, who was a French scientist believed that the venture into science was a good thing and discovered that women have potential to be at equal intellectual capacity of men. She states “ I flattered myself… and that if the minds of a women were cultivated like those of men, they would be equal to the minds of the latter” (Doc 2), showing that some women began to believe in the capability of their own intellectual abilities. German entomologist, Maria Sibbylla Merian demonstrates that women should be included in the science world. In her book she describes her push to learn what she is curious about, rather than
The thing that made her stand out at that time was that whilst she was working so much for everyone being equal she also fought for women's rights and their right to vote and for world peace at the same time. This led to her winning (co winning) the nobelprize year 1931 for peace. I think that Jane was an amazing woman who really sat an example for us women how to fight for women's right and equality but on the same time being kind and loving towards everyone and that is why she is my true hero. I choose Jane becuse she sounded like such an amazing woman who did all thease great things that led to a better future and a more equal way to
She changed the lives of those in need in all directions from the Hull House. She changed the world of which she lived in, but more importantly, she changed the world of those around her. Without the strongness, intelligent, and caringness in Jane’s personality,
Steve Irwin once stated, “I have no fear of losing my life. If I have to save a koala, or crocodile, or a kangaroo or a snake mate, I will save it.” Steve had no fear in doing what he loved. He went after his life ambitions and became what he set out to be. Steve Irwin is known all over the world as an adventurer and television star.
Jane Evershed is one of those people that has the ability to speak through her artwork. This is a wonderful skill to have, as a picture is worth a thousand words. She speaks most openly to women, those who may or may not have endured the discrimination, oppression, sexual assault, and abuse from loved ones or society itself. Society makes it harder for women to accept themselves as they are. They come in all shapes and sizes, ethnicities and backgrounds, religions and sexualities.
It is often stated that people relate to emotions and not facts, and it seems Goodman understands just that. She clearly states the concepts and fundamentals behind the triumphs and struggles of modern day science while presenting them in a way that is filled with emotion. From jealously, delight and frustration, Goodman captures it all. Goodman writes, “Over and over he looked, and each time he made the discovery again: his virus worked on cancer cells. He had never seen anything more beautiful or more important than that mouse before him on the table,” (Goodman, 75).

The Women’s Brains essay was first published in Natural History in 1980 by Stephen Jay Gould, a geology and zoology professor at Harvard University. In this essay, Paul Broca, a respectable and influential professor of clinical surgery at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, concluded from his research on brain sizes that women “could not equal them [men] in intelligence”. Despite the prevalent acceptance of this conclusion in the nineteenth century, Gould refused to concede and argued against Broca’s claim through a scientific filter, where historical information, quantitative numbers and experts’ opinions were used to present an objective and credible counterargument. The clever manipulation and usage of the evidences effectively substantiated

Christopher McCandless, a 29-year-old dreamer, went on the journey of a lifetime to involve himself with nature and being truly independent. He had lived a life of privilege, made amazing grades in school, and even went to school at Emory College, getting degrees in both history and anthropology.
