The virgin Mary, she is very inspiring.

No way! Ruth is my favorite too, because she was an example to all, that everyone can be accepted by God. Even though she was not of their Jewish nationality or whatever and was only part of the family by marriage, she loved God, and she was accepted because she loved him! She was so compassionate! I also like the woman, I don't think she was named, but she was the one who hid the spies in the Old Testament, and she was the only one spared because she believed in their God, and they spared her during the takeover(it's in like, Exodus or Joshua or something) because she had the cloth tied to her window. I like her for the same reasons, that metaphorically, she was spared from destruction because she believed in God. Great question, thank you for asking!

So many to choose from....
I guess if I had to choose just one, I would have to say Deborah. Now, you talk about a liberated woman! A warrior, owned her own property, a priestess, and a leader in Israel.
Who says that the Bible discriminates against women????

Among my favorites:
Ruth - what an example to us to be faithful to the teachings of Christ (she left her homeland behind to go with her mother-in-law, who was going to where the truth was)
Esther - it must have taken a LOT of courage to do what she did (there was, after all, a death sentence by royal decree over the heads of all the Jews, including her!)
Mary - how righteous she must have been to be selected to be the mortal mother of Christ

Noah's wife and their daughters-in-law. It takes a brave group of women to go through something like the Flood and then repopulate the planet from scratch!

Well, I have two in kind of opposite extremes. One is Jael, in Judges 4, who pounded a tent peg through Sisera's skull and pinned his head to the ground.... Wow, don't mess with her.
The other is Mary...Enough said.

Esther. She put dung on her head. You've got to admire a woman like that.

Mine is Mary
She was a young girl, but she had wisdom to keep all those things which had been told her, and pondered them in her heart.
