Answer 7

My 2 favorite (American) women who changed the world are Mary Baker Eddy and Golda Meir:

Mary Baker Eddy at a Glance:

Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

Healer and pioneer of a reliable, widely practiced system of prayer-based healing.

Author of a groundbreaking book on spirituality and healing, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, which has sold over 10 million copies to date.

Founder of a publishing house whose products include numerous books, weekly and monthly magazines, a foreign language magazine, and a Bible daily self-study guide.

Founder and publisher of a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor.

Leader of a worldwide church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and its branches in 80 countries.

Significant Milestones
1866: Mary Baker Eddy discovered Christian Science

1875: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures first published by Eddy

1879: Eddy established The First Church of Christ, Scientist. As the number of readers of Science and Health grew, Eddy established a Church organization to communicate the ideas in Science and Health for humanity’s benefit.

1908: Eddy founded The Christian Science Monitor, a renowned international daily newspaper available in print and on the Internet.

Recent Recognitions Include:

2002: the Congress of the United States recognized both Eddy for her outstanding achievements and contributions, and The Mary Baker Eddy Library for the Betterment of Humanity.

Re: Golda Meir:

"When considering the great female leaders of the 20th century, it is impossible to leave out Golda Meir. Golda’s contributions in building and running the State of Israel cannot be understated. Golda Meir is a shining example of feminism and inspiration for women." (see ref source for full article)

Her willing participation helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition convey peaceful intentions to people they encountered.
Harriett Beecher Stowe (1811-1896)

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)
In 1932, Eleanor Roosevelt privately declared, "I never wanted to be a president's wife." Rather than settling into a role she did not like, she rewrote the rules. Her influence over the president's policies was unprecedented, and she helped drive policy concerning women, civil rights, and poverty.
Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003)
Hepburn's portrayals of self-confident, often professional women were both a reflection and a driving force in the changes in gender relations underway in American society.
Babe Didrikson Zaharias (1911-1956)
An excellent athlete in seemingly every sport she tried, Zaharias won two gold medals in track and field at the 1932 Olympics.
Julia Child (1912-2004)
More than any other single figure in history, Child had a direct impact on the way Americans eat. Her disarming personality and boundless delight in good food helped viewers overcome their discomfort with unfamiliar ingredients and exotic dishes.
Rosa Parks (1913- )
With a simple, personal act of defiance--refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man--Parks opened a decisive chapter in the civil rights movement.
Elizabeth I: 1558–1603
