Jeanne Baret
Jeanne Baret was a pioneering botanist and the first woman known to have circumnavigated the globe, disguising herself as a man to join the 1766 botanical expedition led by Louis Antoine de Bougainville. Her contributions to botany and exploration were largely overlooked in her time, but she has since become a symbol of female resilience and the fight for recognition in fields traditionally dominated by men.
