To all in R&S...... who to you is the most inspiring woman?

Answer 1

Anne Frank. In her darkest hour, she wrote that she believes that people are generally good.

Answer 2

Farah, I am inspired by the lives and work of several women: Eleanor Roosevelt, Emma Goldman, Sojourner Truth, Helen Keller, Mother Jones, Rosa Parks, my late wife, my youngest child, my younger daughter, who did her undergraduate at Yale and earned a Ph.D. at Stanford, and others.

Answer 3

My aunt Carol. She feeds the homeless every Sunday out in California where she lives. She gets some donations to do this but mostly contributes her own money and prepares all of the food. She has refused to have the media pat her on the back for her efforts. She is truly an amazing, spiritual woman.

Answer 4

Gila Almagor

She's a famous Israeli actress who runs the equivalent of the Make a Wish Foundation in Israel--I had the opportunity to attend one of the birthday parties she throws each month for the sick kids in the hospital and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Jamie Elvidge.

Answer 6

I feel Joyce Meyer has inspired my path the most.

Answer 7

Charlotte Bronte

Answer 8

To everyone who is using a computer to access this board, I give you Grace Hopper (with Countess Lovelace an honorable mention).

Answer 9

Mother Teresa

Answer 10

Helen Keller
