Feminist and revolutionary Qiu Jin was born in 1875 in China. She was vocal about women's rights and pressed for better access to education for women. At the time it was still customary for women to have their feet bound at the age of five, rendering women crippled and severely dependent on others. Qiu Jin encouraged women to resist oppression by their families and by the government, and to gain financial independence through education. She was beheaded by the authorities at the age of 31.

Portrait of Maria Salviati de' Medici and Giulia de' Medici
Maria Salviati de' Medici was the mother of Cosimo I, grand duke of Tuscany. The little girl holding her hand is probably Giulia de' Medici, who was left in Maria's care after the murder of her father, Duke Alessandro de' Medici. Duke Alessandro was born to a Medici cardinal and an African woman, so this portrait may be the first of an Afro-European girl in European art. The child was painted over sometime in the 19th century, and discovered when the painting was cleaned in 1937.
