Day 23: Learn about a renegade princess.
This challenge was a bit fun since I actually enjoy history. On the challenge, it suggests trying out Rejected Princesses, which talks about a lot of cool women throughout history who do things a bit out of the norm. While I read through a few, my favorite article was on Dr. Gisella Perl, who was a prisoner in Auschwitz during WWII. She was forced to become a doctor for the camp, and ended up having to prevent pregnant women in the camp from giving birth in order to save them from becoming guinea pigs for all sorts of tests they practiced there. When she was later freed, she became a well known gynecologist, and put effort towards helping as many babies as she could to make up for what happened during the war. It's not a recommended read if stuff like that makes you uncomfortable at all, but if you have interest in Holocaust survivors and their stories, it's definitely interesting.
