Answer:

Josephine Butler was a feminist and social reformer who played a significant role in fighting for women's right to vote, improvement of women's health and education. She was a dogged political activist who represented the voice of women all over the world. Her core achievements include the fight for women's franchise, the abolition of child prostitution, the campaign against the Contagious Disease Act, extensive activism for women equality and education, among others. What made her achievements exceptionally and inspirational was the fact that the turning point of her life was when she lost her daughter. Instead of her to allow herself to be overwhelmed by sorrow, she channeled her energy to helping women and advocating for the rights of women. She was a strong woman who looked beyond her affluence and was able to relate well with women from every cadre of life. She was also one of the foot soldiers that fought against women trafficking. She also authored several books promoting the rights of women in politics, education, public health, economics and other areas of life.

Explanation:

The Renaissance followed the Humanism. This thought placed importance on the human capacity to produce and solve problems, create artistic elements and guide their lives satisfactorily without the help of divine powers. Humanism tried to overthrow the medieval idea about humankind. The medieval man should be pure, sanctified, capable of overcoming sin to ensure the salvation of the soul. Renaissance tried to show humans as they were and to promote their potential.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Avicenna > Greek philosophers & the Canon of Medicine

Averroes > ....?

Maimonides > study of the Jewish Torah

Explanation:

To start with Avicenna, he was a brilliant self-taught filosopher who admitted to have read <em>Metafysics </em>by Aristoteles a thousand times without understanding a single sentence, until he finally saw the (filosophical) light.

He also wrote the Canon of Medicine, a classic in Medicine, that was used in Europe (in Montpellier, France, to be precisely) as late as 1650. That is, some 600 years later.

Maimonides was a Jewish Philosopher who wrote in the Arabic language (!). Remember that in those long-gone days of religious harmony in Spain (that was ruled by the Arabs) Cristians, Arabs and Jews lived happily together.

One of his books was on the Jewish Torah.

Now, Averroes was a real genius (of the exact sciences), but also a bit too honest for this world. He right believed that only true filosophical logic could lead us to the real truth - finishing a thought that Socrates was developing and on which Immanuel Kant spend almost his entiry life.

Averroes got in trouble when he stated that the Koran and the Bible are alegoric stories for ignorant people...

Some people say he is the father of modern medicine; I would say he is the (ignored) father of wisdom.
