Top 10 Inspiring Women

Sort by: Showing 10 items
I admire her guts, the fact she doesn't give a sh*t what people think and how she is a chameleon. She is and has been, every woman. Shes beautiful, but doesn't rely on it. Clever, witty, intelligent and most of all, she puts her fame to use and what ever her personal reasons, draws attentions to serious issues in our world.
Love her. A true, modern icon.

Average listal rating (10 ratings) 4.2  
2. Margaret Thatcher
Loathe what she did politically, but I still recognise that shes one of the most powerful women of our times and she ruled in a mans wo rld.

Another strong lady who is incredibly intelligent, skilled and sharp. Hated in the US, but they have some funny ideas about women in politics (well anyone in politics;). The real force behind Bill and not the doormat the media painted her to be.

Average listal rating (17 ratings) 4.8  
4. Jo Brand
Jo Brand is a hugely under rated British comedienne that I adore. She hits the nail on the head about womens rights, equality and patriarchy in a clever, funny way and I admire the way she never conforms to showbizzy stuff, looks or glamour and is truly her own person. Also hilarious, even men laugh at her stand up.

Average listal rating (16 ratings) 9.1  
5. Marie Curie
A ground breaking woman in the history of science and cancer care. She not only developed a theory on 'radioactivity' she won the nobel prize for physics and also set up the curie research centres that continue today in Europe.

Average listal rating (1034 ratings) 5.8  
6. Madonna
I have gone through love hate periods with Madonnna as she is a woman of many faces. But theres no denying her power in the entertainment world and the fact she came from nothing and made a huge empire and fortune whilst challenging all ideas about women.

Average listal rating (294 ratings) 5.3  
7. Pamela Anderson
On the face of it, a target for the non thinking 'Feminists' as she fits the barbie girl image. But behind the exterior, a clever, strong and ethical woman who campaigns tirelessly for animal rights. She also seems truly likeable and down to earth.

Average listal rating (7 ratings) 4.4  
8. Angela Merkel
A modern female politician who has caught my attention. Taking control in the euro zone when all is ready to fall, decisive, strong and commanding.

Average listal rating (372 ratings) 7.8  
9. Brigitte Bardot

Average listal rating (5 ratings) 8.8  
10. Victoria Pendleton
Another woman who the British press have put onto a love hate pedestal. Shes attractive and clearly very competitive and strong willed to win a gold in the Olympics. She is proof that women are a force to be reckoned with in competitive, male dominated sports and also, that you dont need to look like a man to compete like a man.



Lots of different women I admire for various reasons, so the order is not really relevant. But I'm sure the choices are controversial for some;) A limited list as listal would not allow me to list many important women from history as I couldn't link them (Emily Pankhurst to name one). So most are from pop culture.

Wow. Hillary Clinton? Really? You admire the woman (if you can call her a "woman") who supports the US version of Adolf Hitler? Really? Wow...you must really hate freedom. And, regarding Angelina Jolie, I wouldn't exactly call a woman who has a mouth like Mick Jagger, "beautiful." Also, what has Angelina done, other than make it tendy to apot as many foreign kids as humanly possible, while being a lousy mother to all of them?

Well, no guessing you are American! And who is a version of Adolf Hitler? Bill Clinton, Obama? You really have some very warped ideas of politics which explains why you have the kind of system you do and the biggest gap in inequality in the world.

Hating freedom? A neo-con meme that should have been drowned at birth. Like the list Sereia, ignore the puffin.
