No, not the chef.

Does anyone know of any women who made leading achievements in creating new colonies/countries, and what exactly they did? I'm trying to do a project but I cannot find ANYTHING. If the woman is related to space or astronomy, you get bonus points XD.

I mean there was Maria Mitchell, a Quaker, who make her own lab and Observatory with the left of overs of forts from the revolutionary war, and in order to make the roof of her Observatory rotate, she used unshot cannon balls to move it.

Wait, she used cannonballs as ball-bearings?!

Yes she did. And she built her own telescope.
