I find Michelle Obama very inspiring. If you haven't read Becoming I highly recommend it regardless of your politics.
My daughter inspires me, she's fearless!
My mother who is caring and a positive person.
My mom. She is the most resilient,resourceful and inspirational woman I know.
Lots of famous women past and present inspire me. Quotes are nice, but actions are more what I look for. Most women veterans are my inspiration.

The women in my family who have passed were my greatest inspiration, my Mom, my Grandma, my Aunts. And it was after my Mom passed I realized what it was I learned from her, how strong she was, and it all started with my Grandma. Miss them dearly, think of them daily, and aspire to be like them.
