One year ago, the world lost one of its strongest advocates. Dr. Jane Goodall spent years advocating for animal welfare, for community-led conservation, and for youth environmental leadership. She knew that each one of us had an important role to play, and she made sure that we knew that, too.

Constance Baker Motley's strategic legal mind fundamentally reshaped the legal landscape of desegregation. As the principal female attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, she was a leading legal architect of the #CivilRights movement. She died #OTD in 2005. 🧵

A black-and-white close-up portrait of Constance Baker Motley (September 14, 1921 – September 28, 2005), the trailblazing civil rights attorney and first Black woman appointed as a federal judge. Photographed against a plain, neutral background, she poses facing forward with her torso angled slightly to the right, looking just past the camera. She wears her dark hair styled in a voluminous, soft-curled bob with a side part. Her expression is warm and confident, marked by a slight, serene smile and direct, engaged eyes. She is dressed in her black judicial robes, featuring structured pleats down the front, accessorized with simple white button earrings and a delicate bead necklace peeking through the V-neckline. The composition uses soft, flattering lighting that highlights her features, creating a dignified, commanding, and historically significant mood that reflects her trailblazing legal legacy.

Physician, research scientist & author Dr. Alice Hamilton died #OTD in 1970. She was: + The "mother of occupational medicine" + A pioneer in industrial toxicology + America's foremost authority on lead poisoning (c. 1916) + The first woman appointed to the faculty of Harvard, 1919 #WomenInSTEM

A classic black-and-white formal portrait of Dr. Alice Hamilton (1869–1970), pioneering American physician, toxicologist, and founder of occupational medicine in the United States. She is shown in a head-and-shoulders pose against a neutral studio background, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and resolute expression. Her dark hair is neatly parted and pulled back into a low bun, and she wears a high-necked dark blouse or dress with a simple brooch at the collar, embodying the quiet determination and professionalism that defined her groundbreaking career advocating for worker safety, researching industrial poisons, and becoming the first woman faculty member at Harvard Medical School.

A few months ago before the heat wave, the foxes would regularly sleep in our garden during the day. Today was the first time any of them have spent significant time in the garden since then. Cruella has been sleeping for about 3 hours. ❤️🐾🦊 #Fox #London #Wildlife #FoxNews

Susan La Flesche Picotte: the first #NativeAmerican woman to earn a medical degree in the US. Living in an era when Native Americans were denied citizenship & women couldn't vote, she became an indispensable physician & fierce defender of her people's sovereignty. Died #OTD in 1915. #WomenInSTEM 🧵

A black-and-white studio portrait of Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte (1865–1915), the historic reformer celebrated as the first Native American woman to earn a medical degree in the United States. In a bust-up composition against a dark, textured backdrop, she is positioned slightly turned to the side while facing the camera directly. She looks forward with an intelligent, steady, and composed expression, her dark hair neatly swept up away from her face into a soft bun. She wears a Victorian-era garment featuring a high-necked collar made of a contrasting, intricately patterned light fabric with fine floral or geometric motifs. This collared section is framed by a square, dark lace trim on her darker, structured bodice, which has modest pleating and slight puffing at the shoulders. The soft studio lighting emphasizes her prominent cheekbones and the calm, dignified mood of the portrait, embodying her historic legacy as an enduring pioneer of Indigenous health and civil rights.
