Mother Teresa.Katherine Dexter McCormick.Susan B. Anthony. Clara Barton. Rosa Parks. Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher.Barbara Jordan.Mary Magdalene. Joan of Arc .Jane Austen. Benazir Bhutto.Dian Fossey.Anne Frank.Emma Curtis Hopkins. In no particular order. These are the Fifteen women that came to mind. Or should I say the first fifteen I could list more. Current Five Oprah. Hillary Clinton.Sandra Day O’Connor. Barbara Walters.Billie Jean King. And once again in no particular order and just the first five that came to mind.

Hatshepsut Sappho Mary Magdalene Joan of Arc Millicent Fawcett Elizabeth I of England Amelia Earhart Anne Frank Mother Theresa Princess Diana Rosa Parks Hillary Clinton Gloria Steinem Joan Baez Oprah Winfrey Madonna Good luck narrowing it to five! There are many many many influential women throughout history. Maybe you could go top five per century. That would make things easier. Go Girl Power!!

Marie Curie Rosa Parks Margaret Sanger Gloria Steinem Marie Antoinette Mary,Queen of Scotland Eleanore Roosevelt Hillary R. Clinton Florence Nightingale Louisa May Alcott The Duchess of Windsor Rosey O’Donnell Barbara Walters Coretta Scott King Angela Davis Dr. Kinsey As there are many others I could name that really have influenced the world in different ways. These seem obvious.

There are so many great women changing the world, two that stick out for me are Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou, I love Maya; so gentle, so incredibly insightful, so intelligent, so peaceful, so deeeeeeeeep. I also love Diane Sawyer and Robin Williams, Robin has certainly taught us a lot this past year during her crisis. Has anyone noticed that after all she has been through, she is incredibly beautiful? Now that is one women that has taught me a lot. And certainly “All the women on this web.”

Marie Curie, Gloria Steinem, Alice Paul, Elizabeth Blackwell, and Mother Teresa.

me, my partner, my friend heather, and any woman who does her part to heal the planet.

Gloria Steinem, Hillary Clinton, Marie Curie, Florence Nightengale, Oprah Winfey, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Golda Meier. All of the female social workers who try to make the world a better place.

Sometimes we just think too globally. While many inspiring women have been listed here, I want to put a hand up for women like myself! I became a police officer in 1975. It was an ugly scene for women. Discrimination was behind every door. Both from fellow officers as well as the public. I, along with a handful of other women, worked for many, many years to try to break down those barriers. We DID it!Before I retired I was amazed to see women joining the force with an attitude of entitlement. I guess I was proud it had gotten that far, but somewhat disturbed that they had no clue what it took for them to be able to have that feeling. I spent twenty-eight years on the force and worked my way up from patrol, to detective and finally sergeant. Some of my women friends went on to become chiefs of police. Women are a mainstay now and I feel a great part of that legacy. I don’t regret a minute of time I spent on the job and am proud to see that the women in law enforcement today are coming in with greater education and are rising to the highest ranks in the field.
