When Julia Child was living in Paris with her husband Paul and unable to become pregnant, she turned to learning the art of French cooking, ultimately producing her famous cookbooks and TV shows.

Read about her and the many other women who made major contributions in their own fields and who also changed the larger society by contributing to the well-being of women and children.
