“Timeless Women” made by yours truly (@oswxldstardis). Please give credit if you share!!

I made this to celebrate the incredibly talented women of the TV show Timeless, and the women they visit throughout history on the show. See if you can spot people! Ofc I love all the men in the show (obvs, they’re amazing) but I just wanted to shed a spotlight on these wonderful, amazing women who (apart from all the murder and time destruction) I look up to so much!

Also I’m slightly in love with Emma Whitmore but that’s a story for another day.

Saving the links for future reference because it’s such an interesting read about a real life detective Grace Humiston.

She ran a detective agency for the poor, worked pro bono, saved a woman from a death sentence by proving that she had acted in self-defence, investigated cases when people were turned into slaves long after the slavery had been abolished, and found the murderer of a missing girl and had him imprisoned in spite of his connections with the police.

Another article about Mrs. Humiston in Smithsonian

Also an article about fictional female detectives in the Victorian era:

Furthermore, the female detective of the Victorian era is often forced into her investigation because of outside forces beyond her control. This is likely because detective work, and really any work in the public sphere, was not considered ladylike, and authors felt it necessary to explain how their women characters fell into such work.

By the end of the story, the woman detective is often taken down a peg or two, and/or she is sent back to her domestic sphere.

I just finished Mrs. Sherlock Holmes which is about a real-life 20th century detective/lawyer named Grace Humiston and now I’m starting The Lazarus Effect by HJ Golakai which is about a woman who’s an investigative journalist and I just remembered I still have the new Veronica Speedwell book to read which is also a book about a lady detective (who is also a scientist—based on the real-life Margaret Fountaine). So I’m doing awesome, thanks.

Why you should watch Timeless

Timeless is a time-travel thriller in which a historian, a soldier, and an engineer are recruited to chase down a terrorist who's stolen a Time Machine and in the process uncover an evil secret society deeply intertwined in American history.

It has lines like this:

They often highlight woman and PoC such as:

Grace Humiston

Robert Johnson

Judith Campbell and many others.

The costume design is excellent, the cinematography is great, the characters have depth, It’s well-written, the acting is great. It’s about people with lives instead of facts on paper and it has me excited about history in a way I've never been before.

Give Timeless a watch and you won't regret it.

You can watch Timeless on Hulu in the US and on Netflix in most other countries.
