I may be bias but Marie Curie should have been #1.
My favourite women firsts include:
- Kathryn Bigelow (first woman to win Best Director at the Oscars)
- Hattie McDaniel (first black actor, regardless of gender, to win an Oscar)
- Sherry Lansing (first woman to be president of a major film company)
- Manon Rheaume (first woman to play in the NHL -- albeit in preseason)
- Nancy Christy (first woman to win $1,000,000 on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?")

- Anne Bradstreet (first female poet ever published in England)

- Sarah Jane Woodson (first black woman to serve as a college professor)
- Candice Bergen (first woman to host "Saturday Night Live")
- Madam C.J. Walker (first female self-made millionaire)
Nice list but very Americanised one ..For the record , In Egypt in 1928 Rose " Fatema " Al-Yusuf established one of the most influential political/Cultural magazines in the Middle East , that became later one of the biggest houses and school for free journalism in Egypt and the Arab world ...
Ugh. WHY are like 90% of these women American? What about Florence Nightingale, Isabella II of Spain, Catherine The Great. There are OPTHER nations on this planet you know?!
Ok. Marie Curie. I'll let you off.
noticed that too
I agree
Yes, I was like "First in history" finally a list that can not be all about americans because the USA is such a young country, but then it is like "the first in america to...", "the first in america to..." I mean first in america is not "first in history"....
I think they're focusing more on unknowns.
I feel like Kate Sheppard should've been mentioned or at least an honourable mention - she is New Zealand's most famous suffragette and as a result New Zealand became the first country in the world to give women the right to vote.
Thank you for making this video. Its really interesting.
Poland is so proud of Maria Curie Skłodowska. She was great chemist and real patriot.
She inspired many mens and womens across the boundary of Poland. She was and is one of the greatest scientist in the history of the world.
I liked the list! I would like to see you do the top 10 most admired women in history! Some suggestions are: Princess Diana, Mother Theresa, Anne Frank, Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Oprah Winfrey and Angela Merkel.
I agree with that idea!
You really need to get the Facts right. She certainly isn't perfect and some of her policies may not always be the best choice, but please look up the whole story and who exactly believes what and does what why.
Other than that good idea, I would add Eva Peron/Evita as well
Preach, NZ1967. I would also take Oprah out of the list. She's done great things, it's true. But when I think of admired women in history, celebrities are not on the list.
how about jean d' arc, gabriella silang etc.
Or Malala
Why mention Amelia Earhart's death, but not Marie Curie's?
How about Sandra Day O'Conner first woman to be in the Supreme Court.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
#3 Harriet Tubman... SHE IS THE BEST.. SO COOL
Where's Kate Sheppard and New Zealand?? First country to allow the women's vote
"Táhirih" (Persian: The Pure One) & "Qurratu l-Ayn" (Solace of the Eyes), ie. Fatimah Baraghani, was a courageous, fiery Persian poetess of noble birth regarded by the Baha'i Faith as among the first woman suffrage martyrs, Put to death by strangulation, 1852, she said, "You can kill me as soon as you like, but you cannot stop the emancipation of women." She wore her wedding dress to her martyrdom and called it her "wedding day."
Well, how about the first woman to ACTUALLY SUCCEED in flying around the world solo? Jerrie Mock, 1964. Sure, I know there were a lot of things going on in '64 that peoples' attention went to, but still she succeeded where others (including tragically, Amelia Earhart) failed.
Yes, that is true. But many of those conditions still existed in 1964, and since this is a list of Firsts for Women, I thought that the inclusion of Jerrie Mock was applicable.
@@Carouseldaydreams we aren't though
@ dane Go away. No one likes trolls.
@@bluegirl278 i can tell your single and unsuccessful
Yall watch this for fun because I don't want to I have to because of my teacher assignment for me 🙃
Women are much more than pretty faces
Amen 👏👏🙌🙌
Preach
YES!!!
tell them like it is
true
This video makes me so so happy.
Corazon Aquino, first female President in Asia.
There should have been a longer list. There are so many more people to count in.
Shirley Chisholm? Madame CJ Walker?
i love this channel omg, everyone is so nice. unlike the main channel :/
ew I checked your profile your gross
I liked the list but I think Harriett Tubman should have been first imho
Yeah
😛
Agreed, and Marie Curie should behigher up the list.
Totally agree. Flying over the Atlantic is nowhere as important as most of the other achievements on this list.
You kidding? So she did some partisan work, it doesn't come close to first leader of a nation or first Nobel prize winner or first in outer space. Through out human history probably hundreds of women did similar thing in different counties and different times.
I read and heard her story on kindle books Just Awsome. John Madaline Albright.
What about the first woman to achieve the woman's vote? Most of these wouldn't have been able to be achieved without it...
1st Women to be the founder of a Martial Art style, Fang Qiniang for White Crane Kung Fu
Vigdis Finburgdottir first female president became president of Iceland in 1986
Girl power
Power*
What about the first female pilot in Egypt and all the Middle East and Third in the World Lotfia Elnadi she managed to get her Certificate in 1933.
Lotfiya El-Nady another pioneer pilot woman in the world , Thanks for mentioning her
Hey You Guys Should Make A First Black People Video next February
Proud of them
Can you do a second list? Their so much more Woman you can Mention!
Like connie careburg 1st female scout in nfl history
What about Countess Markievicz the first women to be elected to parliament in the world. She was also a military leader in the Irish revolution in the 1920s and a key political figure. Also America is only getting a female president now Ireland has had two since serving from 1990 to 2011
This is all in the US !
Most of the women were American...
More than half of this list is American, like most things on wathchmojo, the list is very much seen through American eyes, I guess.
It's usually the case with Mojo lists, funny as Mojo is Canadian but I guess the majority of their followers are American.
welp, its pretty obvious if they are actually making it so that´s how be it. "first AMERICAN female doctor" it´s not going to be a chinese lady.
role modelx --- madeline albright
I know a very nice woman she’s my right hand
So many more! Clärenore Stinnes, the first woman who drove around the world with a car. Bessie Coleman, first Afro-American Pilot and the first woman with an international pilot liscence. If you name the Magret Thatcher, you should also name Angela Merkel and Benazir Bhutto. What about Elisabeth I and Junko Tabei, who climbed the Mount Everest first? .... What about female Composers?
Anne McCaffrey was the first woman to win the Nebula and Hugo awards in SiFy and fantasy
Graham doesn't really count because she inherited the job more than being hired to do it as other Women CEOs have. As for Earhart she's an icon but she never learned to operate her radio direction finder properly which was why the USS Ithasca who were serving as a radio beacon was helpless in directing her to a safe landing.
i was sos sure the iron lady will be the number one and then she's just an honorable mention, srsly???
Now I wanna see "Top 10 Firsts For Men In History"
nice joke
Lol. Men did everything already.
I'm actually serious.
Off the top of my head:
Intensive primate studies - Dian Fossy, Jane Goodall. Who was the first man?
Music - The queen of the night. Who was the first man to sing that sublime piece of soprano music.
Looks - Helen of Troy. Who was the first man to cause a war because of his physical attributes?
Politics and power - Cleopatra, Elizabeth I. Who was the first man to be able to rule and keep power in the way they did.
Fashion - Coco Chanel. Who was the first man to become a famous fashion designer.
Science - Marie Curie. Who was the first man to win two nobel prizes in different categories, as a matter of fact I think no man has ever done that.
So yes, I really want to see "Top 10 Firsts For Men in History"
Maria SKŁODOWSKA - Curie not Maire Curie xD
It's actually Maria Skłodowska-Curie.
How about Heddy Lamar no Heddy no mobile phones.
Watching this in 2021... First female VP in the USA Kamala Harris💙
6:45
2:10
what about kathryn bigelow???
This is not about 1st women in history but America
So change the topic
I appreciated this video because it highlighted strong woman who changed history and at times are underrated. For example I didn't know who was the first woman to win a noble prize and all the achievements Marie Curie made in science. This only made me want to learn more. However they didn't even bring up Catherine the Great who was the first Russian female ruler or Coco Chanel who was the first the create trousers for woman and revolutionized fashion. There are many great women who were not even included that weren't "firsts" such as Joan of Arc, Frida Kahlo, Virginia Woolf, etc. Maybe Mojo should make a part 2 video or/and another video that just focuses on great women in history.
How is Harriet Tubman not #1?
what about Kate Shepherd? she fought for women's right to vote
She wasn't the first female something
7:43
Emma Goldman
wow
Countess markiev was the first woman to be elected to the British parliament. She actually refused the post as she was an Anglo Irish revolutionist. Who had taken part in the Easter rising of 1916 and was not killed for her actions because she was a woman. A fact that was of disgust to her.
One thousandth like 👍🏻
For the teachers, here's a project about Women's History Month @t
why everything is American ?Title is misleading.
Very good list of women who are inspiring indeed. Now, this program is very US centered as so many US made productions. Only a few mentions from other countries. Indeed, the US medias and journalists should embrace and defend the planet a little more. It sounds so arrogant to make it look that only Americans did things. Why not speak about the first woman veterinary in France who saved the wolfes from being totally killed.
How about the first First Lady to actually do something other than look pretty, Eleanor Roosevelt!!!
Thatcher best be on this list
How are you doing over there Lucy
where was Kate Sheppard ?
I don't know if this applies to the female PM from Sri Lanka, but I have a hard time considering a female politician as a trailblazer if the only reason she achieved her office was because she was part of a powerful political family.
Temple Grandin
Before vid: This better have Kate Sheppard in it
After: FUCKING HELL
What about mariam Mariam al-Asturlabi a muslum scienst and astronomer in 9 th century responsible to make advance astrolabes.
Here because our teachers made an ed puzzle about this video
it's pronounced Ma-ree!
2nd baby woo
Well not anymore
what about Rosa Paris for stopping racism in the us
true
Parks not Paris
Also there's still racism in the U.S
What about in 1920 when women were able to vote? Or is that an event more than a single person?
Omg ty ty my son would of failed his class for a project ty
so, when you will make a video about Women in History not USA?
most of these women seem to be american. Don't you know theres more than one country in the world?
would Michelle Obama be considered history?
No she's very much still alive
+Keneisha Pinto Madeleine Albright, Valentina Tereshkova are still alive.
She hasn't done that much
Now these are woman to be proud of and admire, not just a girl who decides to not shave her armpit hair and dye it.
(I am a girl and I´m not sayind that´s despicable, just that those historic women should get more admiration instead because of how they literally made history).
This list should be renamed as 10 first women (mostly in US history). And seriously, you are putting flying across an ocean above flying into outer space? Your priorities are a bit screwed up.
u shud change the tittle to "10 first for most american woman moment in history"
These are mostly just Americans
Great. But to much American women, I think.
You made a video in preparation for the first female president of the United States? 😉
.w.o.w.
L
Women, the eternal runners-up.
Who put Hilary Clinton on this list?
why so many american things??
first coment
Shame you can't spell 'comment' though...
Solid Snake i am from hungary ashole :[
Liene Jenerte Language.
Amelia Earhart died next to her much less well known Male copilot.
Great! From "36 Questions Women Have For Men" to "Top 10 Firsts For Women In History". When the feminism is EVERYWHERE on UA-cam.
it is not about feminism, it's about equality,in everything ( race ,gender ,religion... ) there is no feminism, there are normal peapol and there are sexists. that's all.
+Melissa Sidiali I was trying to say that they're so much feminism on UA-cam. Nobody rules the world. There's gonna be a equality at everything. So I'm gonna agree with your opinion.
"36 Questions Women Have For Men" is a horrible divisive video, but this one has nothing to do with feminism. This one is a very nice video.
+Luisa Alright, alright, alright. I just want so say my opinion. Just so many videos including feminism on UA-cam make me to take a break. Sorry. The video is really nice, tho. ❤👍❤
Men always do it first though so technically when they say a woman did something for the first time she still comes in second place
@Mike ThaMGTOWMan ok boomer
You just can't let women have their moment huh? The women that are listed in the video are far greater than you Mr. MGTOW.
only 1 asian...of course
why does gender matter?
It's relevant when one gender has predominantly ruled for much of human history.
Ath elas but this is the first time women did stuff that men have been doing, if it were the first time women did something no one has done that would prove a point I mean I guess this does to but that would prove more of a point that men and women are equal. that would be a cool list this one is too thought.
the video has a couple of woman that did just what you are asking, first woman and person to win noble prize twice marie curie
Women achieving these things is significant because most of them lived in a time where women were restricted and very limited in what was considered appropriate for them to do (women were denied education, the right to own property until the late 19th century etc etc). That is why women were nearly absent in fields such as science, medicine, literature, sport, education, film etc. So rebelling against those notions of what a woman can or cannot do and going on to achieve these incredible feats is what makes them so important. Hope this makes sense :)
sassytommo yes this is significant. it must have been hard fighting sexism especially back then.
First female to become president??
That would be Isabel Martínez de Perón of Argentine, followed closely by Vigdís Finnbogadóttir of Iceland :)
5th view. And terrible topic by the way
Cry me a river :(
***** fuck off
ida Kristin soreng fuck off
How mature ;)
Wahh wahhhhhh
In a way it`s a shame that you did not wait with this list. I mean if Hillary is gonna win in november she will be the first female president of the US. Almost - if not bigger - as big as when Obama won in 08. Of course you can argue that she is horrible and whatever, but it would not take away how amazing it would be for women all over the world
We all hope she doesn't win. And even if she does, we already covered "first elected female president," so adding the first female president in the USA would be a little undistinguished.
The only thing that detracts from this video of great women is the inclusion of Hillary Clinton in the beginning. the only thing she is great at is being a liar.
Nobody cares
You watched though.
I can imagine all the neckbeard basement-dwelling "meninists" that would be complaining if this was put on WatchMojo's main challenge. *shudders*
What about the 1st. Native American DOCTOR? Her name is SUSAN PICOTTE LA FLESCHE. She was member of the PONCA Tribe in Nebraska!!! How come people forget about Native American Women Trailblazers? Such a SIN!!!
