Sheep recently read a book called "Library of Last Words" , which records the last words spoken by great celebrities in history before their death.
But when I read it, I found that most of were men’s last words. After turning to the back for a long time, there were no women at all.
Stories about women seem to be like this, being diluted and forgotten in the long history.
Just like not long ago, Yang saw a Chinese-French film exhibition and learned that the world's first feature film was shot by female director Alice Guy, but her name is rarely seen in all exhibitions and stories about film history. .
Another example is Anne Boleyn, a beautiful queen who was killed by witch-hunting and was also the first queen to be beheaded in the history of England.
But in the face of death, she was calm and unhurried, and her last lines in life were even humorous and boastful.
So today, Yang especially wants to share some female quotes with you. Let’s take a look at what those equally great female celebrities said at the last moment of their lives.
Their last words are concise and humorous
best embody the courage of women
In the past, women did not have many opportunities to receive a complete education.
Even if you are a young lady from an aristocratic family, the purpose of getting an education is to increase your social status and marry into a good family.
Playing the piano and reading are all for this.
Jane Austen, who wrote "Pride and Prejudice", was cultivated in such an environment.
But she was smart by nature and never married, so she was called a woman who married words.
Her works have been reproduced countless times, her face has been printed on the British 10 pound note, and she has been ranked alongside Shakespeare by contemporary writers.
Her writing style is based on the theme of love and marriage. Her writing style is gentle but full of sarcasm, facing the social dilemma faced by women.
During Jane's creative peak period, she completed classic works such as "Sense and Sensibility", "Pride and Prejudice", "Northanger Abbey" and "Emma".
Especially the images of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice" have become classics in the history of literature.
Such a great writer cannot sign his real name when publishing his works.
Because at that time, it was extremely unseemly for women to enter the public eye.
The royalties she received were also low, "Sense and Sensibility" earned 140 pounds, "Pride and Prejudice" earned 110 pounds, and "Northanger Abbey" only received 10 pounds.
It was not until after her death that her work became popular again when fan Robert William Chapman compiled a five-volume collection of her novels.
The last words left by Jane Austen before her death were: "But please die."
contains the female writer's supreme courage in the face of death.
Yang couldn't help but think that if she were alive today, she might also write many movie scripts like "Good Stuff".
But this time, you can sign your name generously.
Marie Curie, whom everyone has known since childhood, was born Maria Salomea Skłodowska .
She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only scientist to win Nobel Prizes in two different fields of science.
While studying pitchblende, she discovered two new elements: Polonium and radium, the latter of which is extremely important in treating cancer.
During World War I, she invented the Little Curie X-ray machine and helped treat millions of wounded.
Although Madame Curie made great achievements in science, her gender made her face many restrictions in her studies.
When she was a teenager, she was unable to be admitted to regular institutions of higher learning and could only study in institutions. When she was studying for a PhD, she wanted to return to her native Poland to contribute, but was turned away by the university.
Because she is a woman, she cannot speak at the Royal Society in London or become a member of the French Academy of Sciences.
But these limitations did not prevent her from becoming a great scientist.
Even when she got married, she wore her favorite blue lab coat. For her, this was the most grand outfit in her life.
It is worth mentioning that she recorded her research plan in detail from the beginning.
Perhaps she realized early on that In the future, some people would question how a woman could produce such great research results.
html At the age of 266, Madame Curie died of aplastic anemia, which was related to her years of working in high-intensity radiation.
The last words she left were:
"I don't want it, I want to be alone."
This great scientist who has been busy all his life finally has the opportunity to take a full rest.
When Yang is free, he likes to watch modern dance performances.
The pioneer of modern dance was the American dancer Isadora Duncan. She was also the first artist in the world to perform barefoot on the stage.
Her childhood was very difficult.
Isadora's mother is a musician and raised four children alone after divorcing her father.
Because her family was too poor to pay the rent, she and her family were often kicked out to different neighborhoods when she was a child.
Despite this, she received plenty of love from her mother.
Every night, my mother would play music by Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert, Mozart, and Chopin at home, and recite poems by Shakespeare, Shelley, Keats, and Burns.
This inspired Isadora's talent for dancing, and she created her own dance from poetry, music and sculpture.
Duncan gave up the traditional dance clothes, wore a loose skirt and robe, and went on the stage barefoot.
She choreographed "Marseillaise", Beethoven's "Seventh Symphony", Mendelssohn's "Spring" and Tchaikovsky's "Slavonic March" into dances.
not only changed the rigidity and rigidity of traditional ballet, but also led the modern dance revolution.
Duncan's life is as full of passion and twists and turns as dance.
She became a Soviet citizen during the anti-communist period of the United States and danced the tango popular at the bottom in front of the Argentine aristocracy.
She also founded dance schools in Germany, France and the Soviet Union, charging very low fees so that children from poor families could also have the opportunity to learn to dance.
can be said to have single-handedly influenced the development of world dance.
Even her last words were full of hope, like the hymn of the goddess of light:
"Goodbye, friends! I'm going to sail into the light!"
What is the mental state of a person who has been trapped at home for 24 years? ?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning is recognized as one of the greatest British poets . The classic work "The Portuguese Sonnets" was a household name in the Victorian era where she lived.
Many famous writers, such as Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan Poe, are fans of her books.
html When she was 215 years old, Elizabeth accidentally fell and injured her spine while riding a horse. Her lower limbs were paralyzed for 24 years.
Most people may have collapsed long ago when encountering this situation.
But Elizabeth did not. She transformed her personal pain into deep sympathy for human suffering and created "Angels and Other Poems" , using poetry to speak out for the oppressed.
After this poem spread, it prompted the British Parliament to pass a bill banning child labor.
He was deeply inspired by Elizabeth's poetry and wrote love letters to her.
The two fell in love at first sight.
With Browning's encouragement and support, Elizabeth regained the ability to walk and wrote the famous series of sonnets.
html At the age of 255, Elizabeth died in the care of her husband.
Her last words were: "It's wonderful."
Although she had a bad start, she used her strong perseverance to turn her life around.
Poetry brought her sunshine, allowing her to fly to all parts of the world on the wings of words, and her thoughts transcended eras.
On this road, she also gained the love she wanted. From these perspectives, her life was indeed very beautiful .
in the last words
have their most exciting life
When educating children, parents often like to buy Barbie dolls for girls and airplane models for boys.
Actually, this is also a gender stereotype.
American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart is a female pilot.
She has been interested in activities in non-traditional female fields, such as basketball and car repair, since she was a child.
In an era when flying was considered the exclusive right of male adventurers, she set many first records.
In 1932, she flew a Lockheed Vega 5B aircraft and became the first woman to fly alone and non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean.
It can be said that she was born to create female records.

She founded the ninety-nines, an organization for female pilots, to encourage more women to join flying.
This organization is still in operation. has more than 5,000 female pilot members in more than 40 countries and regions.

"Nightingale" starring a certain star previously caused a lot of controversy, and Florence Nightingale in history is definitely not something that can be touched lightly.
She was not only a nurse, but also a statistician and social reformer, who influenced the development of modern nursing.
Nightingale was born in Italy to an upper-class British family.
html At the age of 231, despite the opposition of her family, she received nursing training in Kaiserthwaite, Germany, and started her career as a nurse.
This was a very rebellious move at the time. Nursing was considered to be something only those at the bottom could do.
Nightingale's most famous contribution was during the Crimean War in 1854, when she led 38 volunteer nurses to field hospitals.
By analyzing military archives, she discovered that the main cause of death among soldiers was not battlefield casualties, but post-war infections and improper care.
In Crimea, Nightingale was known as The Lady with the Lamp.
She patrolled the wards day and night, bringing comfort and hope to the soldiers, making Nightingale become synonymous with the spirit of nurses. After the war, Nightingale continued to promote medical and public health reforms.
She established the world's first non-monastic nursing school at St Thomas' Hospital in London.
also wrote "Nursing Notes", which provided important theoretical support for nursing practice and education.
What many people don’t know is that Nightingale was also an outstanding statistician.
She used pie charts to display data, which was revolutionary at the time.
Nightingale dedicated her life to society, and even her last words seemed to be a polite response to others' gratitude to her:
"That's too polite - that's too polite."
And this kind of sincere thank you words truly ran through her life.
In 1912, the International Council of Nurses designated her birthday as International Nurses Day, to commemorate her contribution to the cause of nursing.
Her image is printed on commemorative stamps to celebrate her selfless dedication.
Ballet Queen Anna Pavlova was born in a poor family in the suburbs of St. Petersburg in 1881.

Her father is the literary critic Sir Leslie Stephen, and has contacts with many people in the literary world.
In a culturally rich family, Woolf received a good education from an early age and showed her love for literature at an early age.
After being educated at King's College London, Woolf began her professional writing career.
Her works "Mrs. Dalloway", "To the Lighthouse" and "Orlando" are all classics of modernist literature.

"I have a strong premonition that I am going crazy. It is difficult for me to move in this state. I have ringing in my ears, and various voices in my mind are biting, and I cannot concentrate on my work. I have been with this." I have struggled with this state for a long time, and now I can't fight anymore. Although I owe you happiness in this life, I can no longer continue to be so selfish and ruin the rest of your life. "
Last words in the long history of history are often the final footnotes of individual life stories.
From these last words, we can feel the challenges that women faced in different periods and how they responded with wisdom, courage and dignity.
In those days when women's rights were still very low and they were hindered at every step, they made their way in their own way.
It is precisely because of their struggle and resistance that we have the progress and improvement we have today.
Their last words are as wonderful as their lives and worth remembering.
