Category: Women of Note
It seems that the vast majority of people who are remembered historically are men. Probably because the men can usually win an arm-wrestling contest, so they get into the positions where they can do historically-memorable stuff. But, there are certainly many essential contributions made by women throughout history, so here's the notable women whose graves I have visited:
- Abigail Adams
- Louisa May Alcott
- Annie Walker Armstrong
- Lucille Ball
- Maria Beethoven
- Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg
- Fanny Crosby

- Mary Baker Eddy
- Julia Dent Grant
- Florence Kling Harding
- Caroline Scott Harrison
- Heloise
- Lou Henry Hoover
- Hellen Keller
- Dolley Madison
- Mary, Queen of Scots
- Elizabeth Kortright Monroe
- Florence Nightengale (cenotaph)
