Ayaan Hirshi Ali is really the only one.

I've got great respect for the shit she went through, I admire her courage and fortitude, and I wish her nothing but the best.

Anna Anthropy, Ellen McClain, and... Yoko Kanno.

Yoko Kanno, not Ono, need to make that clear; don't want any Beatles fans misreading a name and calling hearsay on my heresy or what have you.

Well, my mother. She went from a simple receptionist to a highly ranked... computer person(don't know the English word :p) for the company she works for. Got offered a position as boss over her departement, but she turned it down. She's also raised two children all alone.

Two more?
...I can't think of any.

Hmm. Catherine Deneuve, Joan of Arc, and Oprah.

Ok, maybe not Oprah. How about Boudicca? Talk about a woman with fire.
Oprah. Heh. That reminds me of this:

But no, I would argue that Oprah is certainly an admirable woman, in kind of the same way that Donald Trump is an admirable man.

The only ones I can think off off the top of my head are Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, and...

Oh darn, I can't remember her name. She was a guest on... I think the Colbert Report... maybe half a year ago. This gorgeous Congresswoman who came across as one of the most level-headed, upright, and intelligent politicians I've ever heard speak. I wish I could remember who she was.

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.
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...
(I agree with the Hilary Clinton)
Haha, I've already told her and she was fine with it. She knows that I'm a pervert and I could never get emotionally attached to a figment of my imagination.

Hmm.. Sorry dude, but she probably lied. I have NEVER met a girl (and belive me I have dated A LOT) who would be fine with that... My experience is that it is best to just not say those kind of things.. You girlfriend might be totally different though.. Just saying..

Nope, she would've told me if there was a problem. Besides, shes mature enough not to get jealous from something as silly as this.

Catherine the Great was the empress of Russia and she was fucking badass. No really, check her out.

Um, I'm girl - well, woman - and I wouldn't care. I mean, that would make me a hypocrite right? Because I don't think that if I was in a relationship that would stop me from having a hot dream about some random guy. (Oh young Alan Rickman, you're so bad...) Besides, you can't control your subconscious, and it silly to expect someone to.[footnote]If you're talking about teenage girls however, then perhaps you're right. they tend to be a sensitive bunch. I should know, I was one once ;)[/footnote] Sorry for butting my head in =)

OT: So many awesome women have already been mentioned, several I'd never heard of. (thank you @Lord_Beric!)

But if I was to randomly pick three women:

Marie Curie - she was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize; not only in Physics but in Chemistry as well.

Rosa Parks - It takes tremendous courage to do what she did, and she was one of the sparks that lead to the Civil Rights Movement in the US.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko - I might be a pacifist, but damn that woman could shoot!

These are three that popped up in my mind.

EDIT: damn spelling...

I am sure every girl/woman is different. Just saying that she might be a little hurt by hearing that. Just talking from my own experience :)
