I don't think there is a *most* influential or revolutionary woman of the 20th c., because it is when women get together that we become most powerful!
I can think of several influential women in US history, but when I hear the word "revolutionary," Alice Paul is the first name that comes to mind. She fought tirelessly to get women the right to vote, despite being imprisoned several times and enduring forced feedings after going on hunger strike. If you haven't seen the film "Iron Jawed Angels" about the women who got us the right to vote, it's a MUST! And Alice was the leading force behind it all.

Eleanor Roosevelt, she's the one that pushed for women's rights and a whole bunch of other things while her husband Franklin was in office doing political stuff. She was also patient and very kind,

Eleanor Roosevelt. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" is one of my favorite of her sayings.
