31 Days of Notable Women- Beyonce, music/ business mogul

Beyoncé Knowles, the 29 year old singer, actress, dancer, and clothes designer made it to Forbes World’s Most Powerful Women list for 2010 with earnings of over $35 million dollars. The Houston-born diva ranks unusually low on our list this year because she didn’t tour or release an album over the past year. But her fourth solo effort “4” is on the way. The simple title was reportedly selected by her fans and is also a nod to her April 4th wedding anniversary with hubby Jay-Z. In the absence of new revenue on the music side, business-focused Beyoncé cashes in on her clothing line “Dereon” and massive endorsement deals with L’Oreal, DirecTV, and General Mills.

“31 Days of Notable Women” my special blog is coming for Women’s History Month!

Every March I post one blog per day on notable women and their amazing accomplishments. Come join me to learn about women in science, women inventors, politicians and poets, freedom fighters and artists.

Many of these women have been buried in history, their stories ignored or never told…..meet amazing people whose voices have been silenced, but who are finally being given the credit they deserve!

Looking for unknown or little known women poets, writers, musicians, artists

March is Women’s History Month and I post a blog every day about an unknown or little known woman who has accomplished greatness in her field. I have almost all of my blogs ready to go, but still need 4 unknown or little known women who write poetry, books, music or are/were artists. It would be nice to include a link to a website with some information on her, but it’s not necessary.

They can be deceased or living, from any country or time period. I already have plenty of inventors, politicians, business women, etc. but still need 4 writers, artists, poets or musicians.

Thanks for the help!
