At this moment it may be you Ms. Martel..=)

Why, thank you!  

All I can say is, "Wow, could you possibly sound any more shallow?"

Really?

A beautiful person in the sense of her devotion and love for others. There were no hidden agendas for her and she truly practiced what she preached.

She was an inspiration for all scientists, and she was a big factor into me deciding to follow thru with my chosen field of work

Beautiful, talented and smart, OH MY!!!!!!!

was Harvey Korman.

Haa haa...

I was reminded that for some of those K crusaders, no list is complete without a name from that Joseon Kingdom. So here goes:  
Hwa-Yeon, the royal consort featured in "The Concubine".

ada lovelace invented modern computing, at least she helped.

Another vote for Hedy!

...my last name "Martel" is actually inspired by the Dornish characters in the show  I love how open-minded their characters were about sex, romance, and adventure.  Oberyn Martell's lady is referred to as his "paramour."  So intriguing.

First woman to run for president - and did it when women were not even allowed to vote.  
Not only was she way ahead of her time, she was great looking, a successful business woman, owned a Wall Street brokerage house, published a newspaper and......believed in free love.  
And yep, she got driven out of the country by religious nutjobs.

Wow!  I hadn't learned about her prior to your post.  

...Constantly reminded of what I could be doing instead of watching the show.

Just kidding. I admire Joan of Arc and Amelia Earhart.

Completely redeemed yourself!!

Maybe including Jayne Mansfield and in the same breath Annie Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst...but in terms of the "eternal struggle, eternal dance" they ought to figure.

That's Cersai Lannister.  Getting ready to kill Tirion.

A true pioneer independent woman.

Just Remember MM - Never gloat while standing over your vanquished foe...

They only executed her for what they suspected of her doing....They really had no idea what she had already done!

Also JOan of Arc    and the original rebel.. my namesake Eve she had the guts to choose knowledge by eating the apple instead of just blindly following orders!I really GET HER! What guts that took! I also love a woman named Starhawk(she is a big name in the "Wiccan" IE Earth worship  she is heavily involved in environmental issues etc.The WICCan motto is "harm none" and she works very hard at raising awareness about loving our MOTHER EARTH  where in so many other religions it is all about life AFTER THIS life wicca celebrates every moment we have on this amazing beautiful planet that has taken such good care of all life here, even after so many of us just take her for granted and trash her... So I GUESS I would say my absolute favorite "female" would be MOTHER EARTH!

full moon and a fire to dance around......HA! What can I say?... I'm a shameless TREE HUGGER! tee hee!
