well I would keep in mind how ever that at certain times ESPECIALLY back then it was ALOT harder for a women to actually achieve anything worth noting because...well they were women and everyone knew back then women were inferiorDr Snakeman said:
my point it it actually takes some guts and dedication when pretty much EVERYONE is telling you to stay in the kitchen
I mean theres a reaosn there werent so many women "badasses" or women do what "you" see as amazing things, not because women can/can't do things, but because they were never given the chance
and really nicola tesla or anyone else what does it matter? if somone was dedicated to what they did and acheived stuff then they are worth respect as far as Im concerned
also I not sure its really fair to write off their acheivments "oh just did..." we dont know what their lives were like or anything
and really what have you done?
Joan of Arc for sure.
my First gf (if you've ever seen NCIS, she was my Shannon to my Jethro).
um... Martha Washington.

I honestly can't think of any I admire... I mean a few come to mind but none who I really consider that amazing. Lucy Lawless for some reason, Zooey Deschanel, Jewel Staite... That's about it. But I don't really admire them, I just like them...
Actually I guess I would definitely say Jade Raymond, it's a shame she doesn't have much of a public role anymore, I thought she was pretty awesome and a damn good face for Ubisoft.
Before anyone flames me for not really admiring any women and therefore being sexist, I don't admire any men either... Apart from Brandon Flowers, Nathan Fillion, Nolan North and Damien Lewis there aren't even really any that I like.

Other then the easy
"My mom and females in my Family"
A women I'm actually proud of and can look at and say, "Man, I'm glad she was/is with us."
Thats a tough question, but even though I'm white, I'll go with the Black Girl who sat at the front of the bus.
That and most any "First women to" for breaking down the barriers.

lol, why not?mysecondlife said:
She's sweet, caring, has a game where she has to go out and do the chivalrous thing. She's also a kick ass fighter and athlete. Sure she gets captured, but she has such a cute, spunky attitude in the Paper Mario games (for example). Plus she can bake. And is pretty.
People just give her an unwarranted bad rep ]:
Hahaha if my girlfriend ever saw me write something like that she would kill me! (Which is why I wouln't want her on the Escapist) Girls HATE when we dream about other than them. I guess they think that dreams reflect on our real thoughts or whatever...Ham_authority95 said:lonely tylenol said:Here are mine:
My girlfriend, the random girl I dreamt about having have sex with the other night, and Hilary Clinton because she is a great example of success and achievement for future generations.
(I agree with the Hilary Clinton)
Mine would be: My girlfriend Emily (She is freaking awseome!)
My mom (Yes you are allowed to laugh)
and the chick from Epica (She's hot AND an amazing vocalist)
Ahh, yes, I'm a strange one. As a history teacher, I'd bet money that not only has no one else picked any of my three, but the vast majority of you have probably never heard of any of them.
Valentina Tereshkova (1937- )
First woman in space, predating the first American woman by more than 20 years, then retired in 1969 so she could become a central committee member in the Soviet Union. An accomplished pilot and still revered as a national hero to this day. At the time of her selection, she was a full decade younger than the youngest American in the astronaut program and included skydiving as one of her hobbies... In the 1950s when parachutes were hardly the safest or most reliable pieces of equipment to use. She has even stated that she wants to be on a mission to Mars even if it is a one way trip. Woman has more balls than most of the men on this forum combined.
Qiu Jin (1875-1907)
Chinese revolutionary who worked tirelessly for women's rights to choose who they marry, be equally educated, and to abolish the practice of wrapping women's feet into a "cone" shape [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding] to make their range of movement so limited that they had to be dependent on others. She was executed in 1907 for helping plot an uprising against the Manchu dynasty. She remains incredibly popular in Taiwanese literature and the People's Republic of China built an entire museum dedicated to her in Shaoxing City.
Lakshmi Sahgal (1914- )
Hero of the Indian War of independence against the British during WWII, she is both an accomplished military commander and medical doctor. She tended British wounded after the surrender of Singapore in 1942, and later became a Colonel in the newly formed Indian Liberation Army, serving as a commander in the first all-women military unit in Asia, fighting along side Japanese forces against the British. She was finally captured in 1946 and given a hero's welcome upon her imprisonment in India. The British quickly realized the counter-productivity of holding her prisoner and released her. She later joined the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and has served as a member in their upper parliament ever since, she organized and ran relief camps for Bangladeshi refugees during their independence struggle, and in 2002 she was nominated as the sole counter-candidate against the sitting president Kalam.
An honorable mention to the only American who almost made the list:
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Feminist, Progressive, a charter member of the NAACP, founding member of the ACLU, philanthropist, and champion of women's suffrage. Also, the source of my favorite equality-feminist quote:
"I am not one of those who believe - broadly speaking - that women are better than men. We have not wrecked railroads, nor corrupted legislatures, nor done many unholy things that men have done; but then we must remember that we have not had the chance."
