Elizabeth Cady Stanton has always been one of my favorites. For a few very influential but relatively unknown women in US history, read the book Historical Amnesia.

Gloria Steinem, she was really one of the first women to make them realize that their was more in ilfe than baking cookies for Mary-Sue. She once said "Last time I checked you dont need a vagina to be a lawyer" She believed in EPA and started a magazine called Ms. She knows how to captivate an audience and she has always said that women and men are equal... she opened the minds of so many women out there and showed them that they were much more capable then what society told them they could do. She brought power to the woman... and demanded respect from men in the world...she was a woman that influenced other woman to say "I AM WOMAN I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW VALUABLE I CAN BE."

I believe that the greatest woman in American history would have to be Clara Barton. She founded and organized one of the greatest American associations. The American Red Cross, and her tremendous effort to save men in the civil war.

I am a white man who believes that honor should go to Ms. Rosa Parks. She is our version of Gandhi.
