Women Making Their Mark
"There are so many but the first one that comes to mind is Michelle Obama. She just seemed to take the whole First Lady thing in stride. She was always so poised and just always made me proud to be an American every time I heard her speak. Such a wonderful role model." - wendy106
"Barbara Jordan was always an inspiration to me, working on the committee that investigated Richard Nixon. She was so impressive." - SueG907
"Alice Wong is an incredible disability rights advocate who founded the Disibility Visabilty Project, which is dedicated to sharing the stories of people with disabilities. She also fights to see more people with disabilities in leadership positions and politics. The work she does is so incredible and the more I read her work, the more I am impressed. Though her name isn't so well known, it should be." - jerseygirl1
Women the World Should Know
"My grandmother inspired me. She did what she could in the face of adversity. She forged her own path and showed my cousins she could do things they never thought she could." - klassic
"The person I choose is my best friend Debbie. … Debbie does and has helped so many strangers with so many things, buying groceries, or a quick meal, a kind word or advice on where to go for any needed help…. This woman never stops, her energy and will and desire to help and impact this world to make it a better place is amazing. Debbie is my choice for someone who has inspired me and I'm sure many others. She may not be history now, however, I believe one day many will remember her for all she did to help. She will not make national news, but in her community she will." - allene7

My mother inspires me daily. She came to the US at the tender age of 18 to help her pregnant sister and endured so much to become the woman she is today.

I've learned something from every woman I have ever met. Everyone has a story and has
qualities that make them great.

My mother in law, she was the first woman in her district in India to go to university, just over 50 years ago. She became the principal of a local school before she had to give up everything to move her family from the dangers of a Kashmiri war, to a new town and start from scratch. She has always been a strong and caring mother, taking care of her own kids and everyone else.

My Dad's mother aka my Memeré Nadeau <3 What a graceful, loving, patient & oh so kind woman! I love her with all my heart and soul. May she rest in piece with my Peperé, in heaven, dancing, laughing and loving with God & all the others who have passed. She was the best woman in my life& will remain so, forever & always, in my heart... I miss her every day. She was a special kinda woman!

My beautiful mom

I'll always be in awe of Mother Teresa. She gave up everything to go help people who had less than her. Most of us are trying to make more money, to buy a bigger house, to buy the 15th pair of jeans and the 30th pair of shoes. Always wanting more than we have. Never really being happy with what we have. While Mother Teresa did not want more for herself but more for others who had nothing. I'll always have so much respect for her and hope to be just a little like her in my life.
