Famous mothers in history

I found a list of some famous mother in history:

Not all are model of good motherhood but they are cool in their own way.  I say that thinking of Marie Curie in mind, principally.  She was a mother and it didn't stop her for at least one Nobel prize.

The mother of Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, was also cool in her own way.  She was a mother.  Before Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft had another daughter, Fanny Imlay.  She was way ahead of her time, even if it was in thoughts.

Those two are the two that I knew the most in the list.  I knew vaguely Coretta King.  I didn't knew enough of her before the video to appreciate all she had done.  On the other hand, it show that behind each great man, there can be a great woman.

Mother's day should not be limited to one day in the calendar.  Mothers are mothers every single day of the year.  It apply to each and every similar special day.
