Answer 1

I like this question, and don't know why anybody else has answered it after two days. I went to sleep thinking about it, and it occurs to me that you could keep on answering it practically forever.

Let's see ... Harriett Tubman was known for the Underground Railroad, and Helen Keller for overcoming the handicaps of being both blind and deaf.

Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. Albert Einstein conceived a new paradigm for the laws of physics. So did Max Planck for quantum theory. John Brown was to the Civil War as John the Baptist was to Jesus Christ. Hugh Hefner presaged the sexual revolution. Susan B. Anthony led the way for women's suffrage. Helen Gurley Brown reshaped women's self-image. Copernicus said the earth goes around the sun. Sam Adams said the colonies ought to be independent. Mahatma Gandhi showed that nonviolent protest can be effective. Nelson Mandela showed us that self-righteousness can prevail. Karl Marx gave us the theory of communism, and Lenin made it happen. Hitler taught us how to hate. J.S. Bach gave us baroque counterpoint, and Pablo Picasso had a new way of seeing art. Jane Goodall made us appreciate gorillas, and Dee Brown reversed misconceptions about Native Americans. Allan Freed popularized a new kind of music, and George W. Bush gave us a new reason to go to war. Cassius Clay/Muhammed Ali showed that personality and principle transcend sport. Dick Cheney reinvented the office of Vice President. Jesse Jackson and Hilary Rodham Clinton showed that African-Americans and women can be credible presidential candidates. Margaret Sanger spearheaded birth control. Babe Didrickson Zacharias opened the door for female athletes. Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat. Bobby Jones popularized golf, Charlie Sifford broke the color barrier, and Tiger Woods plays the game better than anyone in history. Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton demonstrated that celebrity is enough.
