Lost prompt, women not lost to history

[heliopausa]

Does anyone know where is a recent/current prompt-gathering with a history theme? I saw it in a distracted moment recently, and posted a prompt for Anne of Brittany, and now I don't know where to look for it. (Now answered, thanks to pulchritude; it's historyfest!)

Speaking of whom, it's nearly International Women's Day. :) Is there a woman you'd like to draw to my attention, as being someone I can cheer for on the day? Just a name, or a name and an internet link, if you like, or more, if you like!

The end of the three-sentence ficathon is getting very close - and I'll be losing a day and a half on a worktrip tomorrow and Saturday. I hope I can manage a fill or two more, or a prompt or two more before the end.

I don't know what happened to that documentary; I can't find out about it anywhere and it's not on the Czech film database at the director's page, so I guess it fell through, or he's still planning...
But there's apparently a book written by a family member, so maybe I'll get around to that when I'll have more time. I would like to know more, too!
There's the funny excerpt from her diary, when she went to Germany to learn flying, all excited, and her mother accompanying her "resolved to her fate". That's a scene that just begs to be filmed!
And look, this is the type of plane she was learning to fly in:

Imagine doing all the aerobatics in that!

It looks terrifying! Like a flying bicycle.
