My favorite historical leader would be Juliette Gordon Low.

She was the founder of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America

By creating the Girl Scout movement in the US, Juliette brought girls into the out-of-doors, she gave them the opportunity to develop self-reliance and resourcefulness. She encouraged girls to prepare for traditional homemaking, as well as the possibility of future roles as professional women—in the arts, sciences and business. She encouraged them to be active citizens outside the home. Girl Scouting also accepted disabled girls at a time when they were excluded from many other activities. This idea seemed like the most natural thing to Juliette, who never let deafness, back problems or cancer keep her from full participation in life.

Juliette Gordon Low had admirers and friends of all ages, nationalities and areas of life. By keeping in contact with overseas Girl Guides and Girl Scouts during World War I, she helped lay the ground work for the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. After she died from breast cancer in 1927, her friends honored her by establishing the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund, which finances international projects for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world.

Mine is Emiliano Zapata. He was a great man and a Mexican revolutionary leader. He fought for "Tierra y Libertad" too - just like your favorite historical leader George Washington.
