Top 10 trailblazing women who have most inspired others from Jessica Ennis-Hill to Ellen MacArthur
AMELIA Earhart and Jessica Ennis-Hill are the women who have most inspired others to step out of their comfort zones, according to research.
Research of 2,000 adults found 20 per cent were encouraged to do something new after learning about the amazing feats of Amelia Earhart, who became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
While 10 per cent decided to step out of their comfort zone following the incredible achievements of Ellen MacArthur, the fastest person to solo circumnavigate the globe by sailboat.
Other women recognised for their positive impact include cyclist Laura Kenny (10 per cent), astronaut Sally Ride (10 per cent), and boxer Nicola Adams (nine per cent).
The research was commissioned by global technology brand OnePlus, which has teamed up with adventurer Elise Wortley for a historically accurate expedition retracing Dorothy Pilley’s footsteps across Corsica, with mountaineer Edurne Pasaban, and former Miss Finland turned explorer Lotta Hintsa.
It also emerged 64 per cent think the stories of pioneering women need to be told to help more embrace their inner explorer.
However, 53 per cent admit they couldn’t name a single female explorer, either real or fictional.
People were more likely to recognise Lara Croft (63 per cent) or even Dora the Explorer (59 per cent) than Jane Goodall (22 per cent).
While only nine per cent recognised the name Gertrude Bell, one of England’s premier archaeologists in the early 1900s.
And only three per cent – fewer than one in 20 – knew the name of Dorothy Pilley, a mountaineer who paved the way for female climbers.
Elise Wortley, who will be capturing the expedition on the OnePlus 13 device which is built for explorers, said: “Dorothy Pilley should be essential learning for all of us and the fact that this pioneering woman doesn’t feature in our history books and culture is truly devastating.
“This fascinating woman was one of the first female mountaineers and trailblazing adventurers, who inspired so many generations of women that came after her, yet, only three per cent of Brits can recognise her.
“I am as ready as ever to retrace her steps alongside Edurne and Lotta and we couldn’t be more excited to capture our journey through this expedition, bringing Dorothy Pilley’s incredible story to life and inspiring future generations to embrace adventure and exploration as she did.”
The findings, conducted via OnePoll, revealed 82 per cent were aware of the life and times of Charles Darwin, and 75 per cent knew the name of Marco Polo.
In fact, 84 per cent believe there’s too much of a male perception when it comes to discovery and exploration.
While 56 per cent would have liked to have learned more about female explorers in school, college or university.
Celina Shi, from OnePlus Europe, said: “It has never been more important to pay homage to the pioneering women that paved the way before us.
“There are so many fascinating expeditions led by women that still are forgotten, so we’re delighted to be working with Elise, Lotta and Edurne on this adventure.
“Being an explorer comes in so many shapes and forms, and we are excited to capture in a way that Dorothy Pilley wasn’t able to.”
Top 10 trailblazing women
1. Amelia Earhart – First woman to fly solo across the Atlantic
2. Jessica Ennis-Hill – Olympic heptathlon gold medalist

5. Ellen MacArthur – Broke the record for fastest solo circumnavigation of the globe

9. Mary Anning – Palaeontologist who made ground-breaking fossil discoveries
10. Gertrude Bell – Explorer and archaeologist who mapped parts of the Middle East
Ryanair’s cheapest new destination has beautiful beaches and wine for £3 a bottle
RYANAIR have revealed their new, and incredibly cheap, flight paths.
The most budget-friendly flight goes from Stansted to Reggio Calabria from just £14.99 and with weather reaching highs of 17 degrees in March, it’s a great place for an early spring break.
In just three hours, you could be landing in Reggio Calabria – the city with sun, beaches, mountains, waterparks, history… and it’s very affordable.
The Reggio Calabria city centre is 8km from the airport and can easily be reached by bus in under 15 minutes for just €2 (£1.66).
It’s not just the flights that are a bargain; we found a hotel from just £22 per night through Expedia.
Be sure to check out some of the local produce too – specifically the wine, as the city ranked fourth cheapest for wine, with bottles available for £3.
Culture vultures should check out the ‘Opera di Rabarama’ – three sculptures created in 2000 on the waterfront, as well as the Riace Bronzes.
These 2,500-year-old Greek bronze statues are in the Reggio Calabria museum, which adults can enter for €10 (£8.32), while anyone between 18 and 25 gets a reduced fee of €2 (£1.66).
Thirty minutes north of Reggio Calabria is the quaint fishing village of Scilla.
The village nestled on a hill by the coast offers one of the region’s most stunning beaches, Spiaggia di Scilla, with crystal clear waters
One TripAdvisor reviewer wrote that it was “one of the most beautiful and wonderful beaches I have ever seen.”.
To keep the kids busy, the AcquaPark Odissea 2000 waterpark is open in the summer months, when temperatures can reach highs of 31 degrees.
The park has slides, a water roller coaster, pools, a lazy river, plus a pizzeria and bar.
For exploring nature, the Aspromonte National Park is the perfect place to see waterfalls and mountain villages, hidden between the pine trees.
Once you’ve explored Reggio Calabria, make sure to take a trip over to Sicily.
The ferry usually costs around €7 (£5.82) and only takes 35 minutes.
There are 15 sailings a day, so it would be easy enough to pop over for the morning, enjoy a day of strolling about the island with an ice cream, and be back for the evening.

I thought I was being scammed after WWE offered me trials on Instagram… but here’s why I chose boxing instead
PREPARING himself for Olympic glory, boxer Delicious Orie received a suspicious Instagram message offering him trials with the WWE.
But the super-heavyweight star brushed off the invite as nothing more than a scam.
It was only after he was controversially beaten in the opening round of the 2024 Paris Games that he gave the DM a second thought.
By then, Orie was on holiday in Bangkok enjoying some well-earned rest off the back of heartbreaking defeat to Armenia’s Davit Chaloyan.
He did a bit more digging and realised the offer from the WWE was real – and had already been accepted on his behalf.
Orie, 27, told SunSport: “So they messaged me actually on Instagram – this was during the Olympics.
“So I wasn’t on my social media during the Olympics. I actually saw it on holiday a few weeks after.
“And I’m looking up, I’m just looking through the messages and I’m seeing the WWE – initially I thought it was just like one of those fake things trying to get scam you.
“But then I opened the message, I looked into the account and I’m like, ‘This is all legit, you know, they want me out.’
“So I’m in Thailand, I bell my manager because I messaged them back and said, ‘Yeah, of course, let’s talk.’

“And they said, ‘Oh no, we’ve already been speaking with your manager and we’ve sorted everything out, you’re flying out this day.’
“I’m calling my manager like, ‘What’s going on here? I’ve haven’t been told this!
“And he goes, ‘You just need to chill out, just relax, have a good time on holiday and then you can reset because your mind’s going to be going.’
“And I’m like, well it’s too late now my mind’s going now. But yeah, I went out there just to have a look, see what they offer and it was a fantastic experience.”
Orie did undergo a physical trial with the WWE in Florida – but stopped short at any high-flying turnbuckle moves.
He said: “We did bits, it was very light, though. I’d watched a lot of the real physical jumping off the the ropes and all that stuff.
“The main reason why was they were a little bit more cautious on it because as athletes and the things that we’ve got going on behind the scenes, injuries, as you may know, there’s there’s a high injury rate in wrestling, jumping off things and stuff like that.
“So I got to try out a little bit, but not too much.”
What Orie realised most though was the WWE stars’ talent on the microphone – something boxers rarely excel at.
He said: “That’s why the likes of Tyson Fury and all them stand out so much because he’s able to do that, whereas you don’t get many in the UK that can do it.”
Orie – born in Moscow to a Russian mother and Nigerian father – moved to the UK aged seven seeking a better life.
He only started boxing at 18 and excelled as an amateur winning national titles as well as Commonwealth gold and European bronze.
And with still so much to achieve in the professional ranks, Orie decided to politely turn down the WWE’s approach.
He said: “I was thinking what’s gonna get me the most fulfilment out of my life?
“I could have gone down that route, but do I wanna be a 70 year old looking back thinking what could I have been as a professional boxer?
“I think there’s something quite real, raw, primal about boxing.
“There’s nowhere to hide, the amount of work you put in is what shows. No matter whether it is you win, lose, it doesn’t matter.
“It’s how much work you can portray and show people how much work you you’ve put in. And that’s basically what I wanted to do.
I’m just looking through the messages and I’m seeing the WWE – initially I thought it was just like one of those fake things trying to get scam you.
Delicious Orie
“That’s the reason why I decided to sort of say, ‘Look, amazing offer, but definitely the professional boxing is for me.'”
Orie has now turned pro with Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren at heavyweight with his debut set to be announced soon.
And he arrives on the scene just as superstars Anthony Joshua, 35, and Tyson Fury, 36, prepare to depart leaving a gaping gap.
Orie said: “When I started boxing, I knew that there was a target audience that I can appeal to.
“I believe that I’m quite real and I could just appeal to normal people and I can also try and inspire as many people that were or still are in my position or were in my position in the past.
“So I thought to myself, there’s definitely a, a gap in that market for me. So from before I even thought about turning professional, I knew that.”
Orie expects to fight regularly in 2025 – and promises plenty of eyeballs – where they are booing or cheering.
He said: “I’ll be very, very busy, and it’ll be very, very exciting.
“There’ll be people gathering together watching Delicious Orie box, whether they don’t like me or like me, doesn’t matter.
“They’ll be watching me box.”
