Immortalized by The Simpsons on GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS day. It is world-famous and its first version was celebrated in 2004. Today at The Woman Post we want to dedicate this day to the women who have obtained this recognition in different areas.

In general, breaking a record entails having a specialty, being very persevering, having courage, and in many cases taking your skills to the extreme. Thanks to these recognitions, women everywhere have made themselves visible and inspired many and many more.

Dr. Jane Goodall

Heading this list of spectacular women who have broken records, we have perhaps one of the most renowned and long-lived scientists in the world. Dr. Jane Goodall (UK) broke the record for the oldest study of wild primates on the planet: 58 years and counting.

Goodall, as a girl, had the dream of dedicating herself to studying wildlife and traveling to the African continent to live with the animals and tell stories about them. So when she was old enough to decide what to do, she didn't falter and took off on a plane to the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in Tanzania to study the resident primates.

Today thanks to Googall, there is a national park and the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), which was established in 1977. Today it is also dedicated to spreading the importance of wildlife conservation.

Stéphanie Gicquel – The longest trip across Antarctica on skis

Adventurer Stéphanie Gicquel from France achieved a total distance of 2,045km without the help of motors or dogs in a period of 75 days and crossed Antarctica on just a pair of skis. Ella, Stéphanie, explained that conditions on the isolated continent are the windiest, driest, and coldest in the world.

Few people in the world would take such an arduous journey but for Stephanie her passion to explore fueled her to continue skiing. In addition to achieving a world record, the expedition also raised more than 10,000 Euros for Petits Princes, a French foundation dedicated to granting the wishes of sick children.
