By Mina Nakatani/Jan. 11, 2021 9:54 am EDT Behind every great man is a great woman. It s an old saying, and nobody seems to really know exactly where it comes from. Still, there are plenty of examples throughout history that would prove it, with wives allowing for their husbands to rise to positions of power.
But that phrase doesn t need to apply only to wives. Really, there have been groups of women throughout the past who ultimately served as the backbone for major historical events, though their stories have largely gone untold.
