Wow……what a great question, what a great new site! Hmmm….4 ladies for Mt. Rushmore, that’s a tough one, but here are 4 great women (there are SO many others as well!) — Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks and Madeleine Albright. Best of luck with the new endeavor!

I nominate 4 women who died in Iraq. They are anonymous to us but they were mothers, daughters and wives to others. These women were pilots, medics and soldiers and someone should build a monument to their ultimate sacrifice and that of their families.

I’ve been waiting for a site like this. Thanks! My four Rushmore women: Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Rosalynn Carter and Whoopi (any and all of whom would make fine presidents).

My four choices would be Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony and Sagajawea. All of these women contributed to the present-day empowerment of all women in the US.
