3. The longest human pregnancy on record was a woman from Los Angeles named Beulah Hunter. She gave birth in 1945 after carrying her baby for 375 days — a full three months longer than normal. But it was in the days before ultra-sound, so it may just be a case of miscalculation.

5. The first computer programmer was a woman. Ada Lovelace.
6. In 2017, Taylor Swift won a landmark lawsuit in which she sued a radio host who groped her bum for just $1. Taylor said she sought to make a public point that women should not have to endure unwanted physical contact.
