Oh, Mary Anning's life should inspire many and did so, and still does. My wife being one :) By the way, she is a geologist as well..

I don't know if you are aware of this particular event...she literally died when she was 15 months old from a lightning strike..

On 19 August 1800, aged 15 months, she narrowly escaped death. She was taken to see an outdoor equestrian event by a family friend, Elizabeth Haskings, and two other women. The afternoon grew very sultry before “there was an awful peal of thunder” and Mary’s group ran for shelter under a tree before lightning struck and the three women were killed. Mary also appeared dead but she was rushed home, given a warm bath and miraculously revived. Her biographer, George Roberts, wrote: “Mary Anning was born a dull child but after the accident grew up lively and intelligent.”
