Also on the list is world para surfing champion Charlotte Banfield, the UK's first professor of human sexuality, Tamsin Wilton, and headmistress turned suffragette Annie Williams.
Dina Holder, from The Women's Centre Cornwall, and Joyte Brown, co-founder of Black Voices Cornwall, were also included.
An advisory panel made up of charity representatives helped decide the list, said the art centre.
Katie Bunnell, the ceramic artist who led the Women of Cornwall project, said: "Selecting 50 women from the 234 has been an incredibly challenging task.
"The different perspectives of the advisory group were immensely helpful, enabling us to create what we hope is a broad and inspirational group."

MasterChef's John Torode confirms he was accused of racism in Wallace review
MasterChef presenter John Torode has confirmed he is the subject of an allegation of using racist language that was upheld as part of a review into the behaviour of co-presenter Gregg Wallace. The report, commissioned by MasterChef production company Banijay UK and led by law firm Lewis Silkin, found 45 out of 83 allegations against Wallace were substantiated, alongside two standalone allegations made against other people, including one for using racist language. In a post on Instagram, Torode confirmed he was the person alleged to have used racist language but said he had 'no recollection of the incident' and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by John Torode (@johntorodecooks) His statement said: 'Following publication of the Executive Summary of the investigation into Gregg Wallace while working on MasterChef, I am aware of speculation that I am one of the two other individuals against whom an allegation has been upheld. 'For the sake of transparency, I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. 'The allegation is that I did so sometime in 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was intended in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards. 'I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened. However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' Reports in The Sun said Torode had been asked to leave the show and claim he had mental health issues following the allegation. It comes after Wallace said he was 'deeply sorry for any distress caused' and that he 'never set out to harm or humiliate' in the wake of the report, which included one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact' that was upheld. In November 2024, the show's production company, Banijay UK, announced that Wallace, 60, would step away from his role on MasterChef while historical allegations of misconduct were investigated. In a statement to the PA news agency, he said: 'For eight months, my family and I have lived under a cloud. Trial by media, fuelled by rumour and clickbait. 'None of the serious allegations against me were upheld. I challenged the remaining issue of unwanted touching but have had to accept a difference in perception, and I am deeply sorry for any distress caused. It was never intended.' The report found that the 'majority of the allegations against Mr Wallace (94%) related to behaviour which is said to have occurred between 2005 and 2018', with only one allegation substantiated after 2018. It also concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated', with 'one incident of unwelcome physical contact' also substantiated. The report noted that during the course of the investigation, which was over a seven-month period, Wallace was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and said that the findings should be viewed in the context of his neurodiversity. In his statement, Wallace added: 'I'm relieved that the Banijay report fully recognises that my behaviour changed profoundly in 2018. Some of my humour and language missed the mark. I never set out to harm or humiliate. I always tried to bring warmth and support to MasterChef, on screen and off. 'After nearly 20 years on the show, I now see that certain patterns, shaped by traits I've only recently begun to understand, may have been misread. I also accept that more could have been done, by others and by myself, to address concerns earlier. 'A late autism diagnosis has helped me understand how I communicate and how I'm perceived. I'm still learning.' The BBC has been asked for comment.

Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey': Matt Damon, Tom Holland and Zendaya Spotted Filming in Scotland
Matt Damon, Tom Holland and Zendaya were photographed spending time in Scotland with director Christopher Nolan as they continue to shoot The Odyssey Filming for Nolan's adaptation of the ancient Greek epic poem continues weeks after Universal released its first teaser for the movie exclusively in theaters The Odyssey is in theaters July 17, 2026Matt Damon, Tom Holland and Zendaya are back to filming Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Damon, 54, Holland, 29, and Zendaya, 28, were each seen spending time on The Odyssey's set in Scotland on Monday, July 14 as filming for director Nolan's next movie continues. While engaged couple Holland and Zendaya arrived separately off a small boat not in costume, Damon, who is playing the movie's lead character Odysseus, waved to photographers as he arrived wearing his full costume - which included dark boots, an ancient Greece-style tunic and cattle armor, as well as a long dark green cape that billowed out behind him. Damon, Holland and Zendaya's arrival in Scotland marks the first time the group of actors have been photographed filming the movie on location in recent months. The group were seen in Favignana, Italy, back in March, where Damon was first seen showing off his impressive physique to portray the ancient Greek hero. An initial teaser for the movie released exclusively in theaters ahead of Jurassic World Rebirth. It featured Holland's character Telemachus — Odysseus' son — speaking with a character portrayed by Jon Bernthal, as well as the voice of John Leguizamo, who holds an as-of-yet undisclosed role in The Odyssey. Leguizamo, 64, recently told PEOPLE that working with filmmaker Nolan on the project "was like being with a visionary — like what I imagine it must have been like to work with Stanley Kubrick." "We were in amazing locations. It's seven countries," Leguizamo said, while otherwise discussing season 2 of his MSNBC travel documentary series Leguizamo Does America. "They're in Morocco, Greece, Sicily, back to L.A., and [Nolan is] bringing work back to L.A. and to America, which is incredible."

It's diverse — oh my God, I just love this project," he added during the conversation, during which he said he largely shot his scenes for the movie with Damon, Holland and Robert Pattinson, whom he described as a "a dream team." Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron Mia Goth, Elliot Page and Benny Safdie will also star in The Odyssey, Nolan's first movie since his 2023 blockbuster biopic Oppenheimer, which won a number of Academy Awards. Universal revealed the first photo of Damon in character — dressed in armor and a cape with a coordinating headpiece — back on Feb. Odyssey sails into theaters July 17, 2026.
