Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton - suffragettes
Margaret Sanger - birth control advocate Madalyn Murray O'Hair - fought for separation of church and state Anne Bonny and Grace O'Malley - female pirates Drew Barrymore - overcame addiction in childhood and a "wild" reputation to become a respected actress Mary Shelly - famous female author, who wrote FRANKENSTEIN Dr. Ruth - promoted sexual education There are many women whom I admire and respect, and to whom I'm grateful for their contributions. __________________ Maven If I had a dollar for every time I got distracted, I wish I had some ice cream.

another one... I admire Kate Winslet. She refused to cave to the pressure of Hollywood's body ideals, and still managed to be a raving success in her career. And, I think she looks terrific, curves and all.

Pat, your dog is a hero! I hate idiots that think animals aren't deserving of love, affection, and welfare!
Other Hollywood ladies whom I admire for not caving into body image stereotypes are America Ferrara, Queen Latifah, and Margaret Cho. Of course, we should admire female doctors, scientists and other extremely intelligent ladies, plus women in bodybuilding and physical arenas and politics, but I admit, like most women, I'm not as informed on as many of them as I am on Hollywood actresses and performers. I'm thankful to all those behind Planned Parenthood as well. __________________ Maven If I had a dollar for every time I got distracted, I wish I had some ice cream.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
