Who's Who

A Who's Who is a type of reference book with biographies of notable people in a designated area.
First published in the United Kingdom in the 1840s, other countries published their own versions, followed by more niche topics such as baseball, fashion, and DC Comics' multi-volume series Who's Who in the DC Universe. The phrase has since become a simile, "a veritable who's who," to denote prominent people of a particular group.
