What if we made a feminist map of the Moon?
YES (to quote Ono)
I worry about the hubris and anthropocentrism of naming things and places after any human, no matter what gender. Things and places should have their own stories and names.

We'd probably be as delighted as when we find those far-too-rare examples of Welsh feature names in the solar system!
Seems appropriate, for a goddess 🤷♂️
You'd have to ask the Werewolves, it's ours you know. (But there are feminists amongst our ranks too)
Considering that Henrietta Lacks enabled 3 Nobel prizes to be won, her name should feature.
