This interactive visualization maps the birthplaces of notable women on a world atlas, with bubble size encoding each figure's Historical Popularity Index (HPI) score and color differentiating occupation. A brushable time-series histogram at the bottom filters the map by birth year, dimming out-of-range figures. The map uses D3's `geoNaturalEarth1` projection with `geoPath` and `geoGraticule` for cartographic rendering, while the histogram employs `scaleTime`, `histogram` binning, and `brushX` for selection. Data loads via D3's `csv` parser from a Pantheon dataset, and the React-based tooltip reveals name, occupation, birthplace, and HPI on hover.
