Noor Inayat Khan, who I never learned about in school, and who was apparently infinitely more badass than everybody. A Muslim Indian woman who went behind enemy lines in WWII as a signaler, didn't crack under interrogation, and died in Dachau with the word "freedom" on her lips?! Sometimes I feel like my education's failed me; without the internet I would know so much less about so many truly amazing women.

Wow. Oddly enough, my high school did much better by that yardstick than my college.
