Im not sure if I could pick just one, but here are a few of my favorites:
Eleanor Roosevelt: She was a shining example for women in politics. She had a major effect on women and the world in general. Also, her famous quote "noone can make you feel inferior without your consent" are words to live by.
Alice Paul: she played a major role in getting women the right to vote.
Audrey Hepburn: she is an icon. Between her charm, her movies, her style, and her charity work, I absolutely amor her.
Anne Frank: I have read her diary several times, as well as a couple of other books on her. Perhaps because of her young age, she was able to write with a purity that was amazing. She explained herself without trying to hide her faults, and could make you both laugh and cry. It is sad to think we will never know what she would have done if she had been allowed to grow up. :

Great list! What got me the most about the diary of Anne Frank is that she never knew just how much of a influence she was to this world. She died unaware of her wonderful legacy and thats really tears me up. Anway, i agree 100%!
I know this combination might seem odd, but I have to say that Audrey Hepburn and Angela Davis have to be two of my favorites. Angela Davis, because she was (is?I don't know if shes dead yet), a very strong, independent black woman who didn't conform ti male or white standards. I chose Audrey because she is boy only an Icon,but a really good person who did a lot of great work for UNICEF. I'm sure threes at least ten more, but they're escaping me right now.
