【题目】 Every year on a special day in March , the world celebrates women's day. Women from different countries have done great achievements and made a difference. The BBC has made a list of the greatest icons of the 20th century. Among the list's 28 people, 11 are women. Let's meet three of them.

Jane Goodall ( 1934-present, UK)

Jane Goodall is one of the most famous zoologists in the world. She studied chimpanzees in a special way and made some great findings. Goodall didn't study chimpanzees in a zoo. She spent 38 years in the wild forests in Africa. She lived among them and found that chimpanzees used tools, lived in groups and had feelings like love and anger. This showed that humans and chimpanzees might have the same ancestors. Goodall's findings surprised many people. We started to ask ourselves: What does it mean to human'? How can we better protect animals?

Billie Jean King ( 1943-present, US)

Billie Jean King is one of the best tennis players in American history. She not only won many games, but also fought for more rights for women sports players.

During her time, women players got much less money than men. A top tennis player named Bobby Riggs looked down on women players. So King played a game against and won. She showed the power of women.
