With so many influential women throughout history, I wonder what process or criteria guided the selection of these 52 figures. Did she focus on overlooked stories or those with a particular impact?

Their contributions are so varied—what do you think led Mackenzi Lee to choose these particular stories over others? Was there a unifying message she wanted to convey?
