Who were some inspirational women through the ages?

Mae West - an American actress, singer, comedian, scriptwriter, and playwright whose career spanned more than 70 years. One of her phrases; You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Dame Nellie Melba - Internationally renowned opera singer of the late 19th and 20th centuries. A tireless worker with charities during the 1st world war. A mentor to countless aspiring artists known as "Melba's Girls"

Rosa Parks - The "mother of the civil rights movement". Rosa Parks profoundly changed America by sparking the modern Civil Rights Movement. Her refusal to give up her bus seat on December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, initiated a 13-month boycott that led to the Supreme Court ruling segregation on public buses unconstitutional, ultimately inspiring national action against systemic racism.

Princess Diana - The People's Princess, Diana transformed charitable work by visiting and comforting those with HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and homelessness, breaking down social stigmas. Diana showed compassion for all marginalised people.

Only because I met her selling her hand made jewelry at a kiosk in a now closed local mall years ago.

Blaze Starr. She said the movie Blaze wasn't very factual.

I wouldn't call any famous women inspirational. Quite the opposite. Same for most famous men throughout history.

Alexander the great was a terrible inspiration. While Helen of Troy launched those thousands of ships for the same reason.

Fame reeks of ulterior motives.

Would rather celebrate the common women, than a famous one. Because little harm was done.

@DeWayfarer many great armies throughout history have left DNA wherever they were. Many Bulgarians / Hungarians look Asian.
How many non Mongolians have Ghengis DNA? How many non Huns have Attila DNA?

@AthrillatheHunt And many, especially on both sides of my family where gypsies and wanderers.

My father side goes back to Saudi Arabia thousands of years ago.

@DeWayfarer fascinating (mean it genuinely ) and aren’t the Gypsies originally Indian ?
