Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson is the first African American woman to receive a doctorate from MIT in any subject, and the second African American woman to receive a doctorate in physics in the United States. But her contributions to the field of physics and the broader scientific community go well beyond her academic achievements.
Queen Tiye’s many royal titles indicate the immense influence and power she wielded during her lifetime. Despite not being of royal birth, Tiye had tremendous influence at court, becoming her pharoah husband's trusted confidante and advisor. She was extremely involved in foreign affairs, well-respected by dignitaries, and was the first Egyptian queen to be on the official record for her various duties and responsibilities.
