I tried to search myself for someone other than Xerxes, Xenophon, Xenocrates, and Francis Xavier... can't come up with anyone that would be guessed by more than 1% I think.
Czechian for Kafka is a bit troubling, it was Austrian back then, he himself identified mostly as part of the german-speaking jewish community. "Praguian" is maybe the most accurate description.
Typically monarchs are listed under their first name. Henry VIII would not be listed under 'T' for Tudor. Likewise Napoleon I is not listed under 'B' for Bonaparte.
Throughout history, until quite recently, women were confined to domestic roles. It's not not the fault of the quizmaker that women aren't on this quiz. It's the fault of the societies that denied women an opportunity to make history.
Joan of Arc, Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, Jane Austen, Amelia Earhart, Pearl S. Buck, Sojourner Truth, Margaret Meade, Frida Kahlo, Cleopatra, Clara Barton, Catherine the Great, Mary Wollstonecraft, Sally Ride, Queen Isabella of Spain, Tz'u Hsi, and Mother Teresa, among others, might disagree with you.
Hatshepsut has always seemed a far more interesting historical figure to me than Cleopatra, but I suppose Shakespeare never wrote about her, so no one knows any of that history.
Kafka was Czech though. And for the Annie question you should also accept Quvenzhané who played the role in the 2014 remake :)
Thanks.
Most of these ladies weren't that domestic.
