Back in 2020, when trying to inject a little spirit into a bleak year, I wanted to set up a Christmas tree in the Tentsmiths shop. I already had 2 ornaments hanging by my desk, they were representations of cool historical women. I even knew about one more packed away at home with the family ornament collections. So I wondered, would it be possible to decorate an entire tree with kick a$$ women of history, and today?
The Answer is YES.

My collection has grown over the years. As of this writing I have 103 unique ornaments, and a few sets of ornaments from games, cards, etc. that each represent a different person. I’m always on the lookout for more amazing women of history, if you’d like to know my current wishlist, please ask!
