I read about this woman, she was actually a Holocaust survivor -- I have so much respect for her.

She was polish not French at all. She married a French and worked there but never describ do herself as French

All honor, not only to her, but the other marathoners who protected her.

She wrote out by hand the mathematical sequence that enabled the Apollo mission to be successful. (That's what she's standing beside) . They said that she was so accurate they used to get her to double check the math once computers started doing it for the other scientists.

She is behind in points. Tattoo artist is more popular than the woman astronaut? Give me a break!

The REAL Mulan!

Women have always been pioneers in aviation they just don;t get the press or the credit they deserve. Amelia Earhart

Hmmm- "These WOMEN were FEMALE firefighters". Would a headline read "These MEN were MALE firefighters"???

What about Emilline Pankhurst ?

Awesome - I bet she met resistance and hate at many turns.

She had two strikes against her, she was a woman and she was black and what she did took so much courage. She did not fight for prestige, but for justice

She developed the anti-aging drug Gerovital H3 (1952)

I've never gotten a tattoo, but I do like her taste in art... dragons, horses, butterflies, a girl with 2 lions as friends, a hummingbird, etc. Plus, if she did all that on herself, that is pretty amazing on it's own... how does one tattoo the back of one's own arm, for instance?

You go girl!!!!! One of the best inspirations!

That too in a Saree!!!

If they knew how people dressed now......... I dunno, I think one pieces are cool and whatever but some of the ways people dress at the beach are my definition of "indecent"... but I guess it's their right and all so go Mz. Kellerman! (still no sarcasm here)

This is one of the inventions that most surprise me because it involves innovation in its purest form under a very elegant and clever simplicity. It is a very, very smart invention. I never knew who invented it. Now I know. :)

No Jeanne D'Arc, Mother Theresa, Elisabeth I... ?

Does that make her child an alien?

Who said woman cannot drive?

What the hell is happening to this list?

... but when will we achieve it?

People need to stop putting the word "female" before the job. No one says male doctor or male lawyer!

She is my favourite because I am a woman and a computer programmer and I often meet people who find strange that a woman is capable of doing this. Even other women are surprised.

they look damn cool!

Beautiful!!!

....., but she couldn't vote!

Miss Colvin is the real Rosa Parks. She was replaced by Miss Parks for marketability reasons. Miss Colvin had a child out of wedlock (she was molested as a teen) and she was darker skinned than Miss Parks. It was Miss Colvin's defiant stance on a bus that inspired the Rosa Parks publicity stunt. Miss Parks was brave, horrible things could have happened to her in retaliation for standing her ground. But she was a stand-in for Miss Colvin, whose experience was not staged but a fact of her everyday life. Read about her.
