Which is correct? Women that made history? or Women who made history?
Thanks Phyllis. Appreciated, off to start a new hub.

I think either can be used and will be fine in regard to proper grammar. I've read that when referring to a specific class of people, it is more common to use 'that'. In this case since you're referring to a specific group of women, you can use, 'women that made history'. But you could also use 'who' and be correct. If you are exclusively using the APA style, you would use 'who' when referring to people.

"Who" for people and "that" for objects is a good rule but there are many uses of "that" as a relative pronoun in literature. I play safe and follow the rule though.

Hi, the sentence below comes up fine on Hemingway, Grammarly and ProWriting, but I can't find the verb. This type of sentence stumps me every time. Does "thanks to" work as a verb? So, technically is it correct? Or am I overthinking this sentence? Not the typical green tea, thanks to the...
