Great Women Who Changed History - Great Research Topic

By Matthew Davis


You won't run out of subject material when you choose Great Women Who Changed History as one of the research topic ideas for your next research paper. In reality you may have difficulty selecting which great women in history to make a choice from. The list of research paper topics is so long and varied at AboutTopics.com, so your choice will rely upon which fields of study you choose to research.

For example, if you want to write on women who changed countries' history in the area of medicine, some of research topic ideas you need to take under consideration will include Elizabeth Blackwell, who was the 1st lady in the US who earned and was awarded a medical degree, which she did in 1849 from the Medical Establishment of Geneva in New York.

You might also want to research Lillian Wald, who is commonly known as the mum of public hospital nursing; Marie Curie, the Nobel Prize winner in both chemistry and physics for study on radioactivity; or Florence Nightingale, the nursing pioneer who successfully suggested sanitary conditions in hospitals.

If one of your research topic ideas is about Civil Rights, the options are again numerous. You can write about Harriet Tubman, the former slave who escaped on the Underground Railroad, then later made 19 trips back to the South to help about 300 people escape from horrible slavery. Other subjects to consider are Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," made wide cognizance of the terrors of the institution of slavery and galvanized the general public to eventually finish it, or Susan B. Anthony, the most famous one of the advocates for ladies to be given the right to vote. Another great woman who changed history is Eleanor Roosevelt, who not only fought for civil rights for all country, but who traveled around country serving as the ears and eyes for her man, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, when traveling became more difficult for him due to polio. Rosa Parks sparked the 20th century Civil Rights Movement when she didn't want to give up her bus seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955 to a white passenger, setting off a bus boycott.

You'll find plenty to write about if you choose France's Joan of Arc, Russia's Catherine the Great, or Great Britain's Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, or Queen Elizabeth II. Just be creative!
