When considering who I idolize in life, I think of remarkable women like Sarah Emma Edmonds, Frances Clayton, and Albert Cashier. These women not only fought against the odds but also defied societal expectations by disguising themselves as men to serve in the Civil War.
Courage and Resilience

Their bravery in the face of danger is truly inspiring. Sarah Emma Edmonds, known as "Franklin Thompson," took part in significant battles and served as a nurse and a spy. Frances Clayton fought alongside her husband and continued to serve even after his death, displaying unwavering courage. Albert Cashier, born Jennie Hodgers, lived as a man throughout his life and fought valiantly for the Union.

Talk about breaking barriers. These women broke through the limitations society placed on them and became symbols of strength and determination. They remind us that true heroism comes in many forms and that the fight for equality and recognition has deep historical roots. Their stories inspire me to face challenges head-on and to honor the courage of those who came before us.

In a world that often underestimates the power of individuals, these women stand as shining examples of bravery and resilience. Their legacy continues to motivate me to push boundaries and pursue my passions today.

It’s best to learn from history rather than repeat its mistakes.

As I get older I have found my siblings to be my heroes. I’m the youngest of seven (and twenty years younger than my oldest sister) and I’m sure they will inevitably pass on and I’m so grateful the example they provided through a great many trials and tribulations.

No one really … but one of my favorite ladies ever is Simone de Beauvoir, the French writer … one of my favorite quotes by her is:

“ One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”

Nobody. I won’t even wear a team jersey with someone’s name on it. I’m here to be me and live my life to the fullest.

Love, respect, now that’s a different story.

Maybe the late composers JS Bach and the earlier Ockeghem from the 15th century. And semi mythological figures like Buddah and Jesus...there are a few others...my old music teacher in high school is one 4 sure, and this guy I idolized later and didnt care why...

There are certain people I admire as mentors, or models of strength and character.
My closest friends and relatives come to mind. As well as certain authors, thinkers, and world leaders.

I admire many people in my life and throughout history, but I don't idolize anyone.

No one at the moment really
but I did when I was younger.
I think I may have grown out of it.

No one. I have great respect for some, but like me, they are human, not idols.

Nobody. When I was younger, I idolized Madonna, lol.

No one.

Its hard for me.

But I have respect for a lot of things some people have done.

I don't idolize humans, only God.

No one, but I respect and admire people who have actually built something.

Growth itself.

My idol isn't a figure....it's a direction.

No one

"When I have X or X, I'll be happy " (I read what)

I idolize anyone who doesn’t need much. The less they need, the more I admire them.

No one for me. They just let you down.

Literary, musical and filmic legends, and some historical figures that is more about aesthetics.

I don't idolize anyone. There isn't anyone worth it.

Nobody.
