These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.
We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Professional midwives are known from the third millennium BCE onward in ancient Mesopotamia.
Here is an image from a cylinder seal showing maybe a midwife assisting a woman in childbirth from an early era (Early Dynastic or Old Akkadian). Below the birthing bed is a scorpion

A legal case from almost 4,000 years ago includes witness testimony about the birth of a child to confirm his identity.
When Sin-nada, the mother, was in labour, her mother-in-law “brought here a certain midwife” to help cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/26...

This list of Sumerian words, like a very ancient dictionary, dates to ~2300 BCE from the ancient city of Ebla.
Remarkably, one of the words listed is sha-zu, which means “midwife” (“one who knows the inside”).
