I find lots of lists of women firsts, first to fly accross the Atlantic, first to win an Academy Award etc. However, these things have always been done by men first. I want to know if there are world first that are not gender specific, that were done by women first.

I think all you are going to find is women inventors, and there are plenty of those. Hedy Lamarr, "most beautiful woman in the world", was a prolific inventor. She invented spread spectrum encoding during WW2 to protect radio communications with combat pilots. It is now the basis of what we call "cell phones". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr
