Women making history
Artist Brian Gubicza is devoted this year to create a new
paper model each week depicting a woman who has inspired
or influenced the world by her work.
The kits are simple, and easy to build.

In most of them there is a short biographical note explaining
why her work is relevant to the world. The women represented
go from scientists to actresses, and also activists, politicians
and writers.
The kits are mainly of Northamerican women, though there are
a few from other parts of the world.
So far, this is the list of kits released this year:

In his own words:
"Making History is a celebration of real women who shape
our history on this planet. The toys will remain as free
downloads for the entirety of the series. I encourage you
to distribute/use them for educational/non commercial use only.
Now. Go make some history..."
