America's Greatest Hero - Womanlike
I was dismayed to see only one woman included in the America's Greatest Hero thread as of yet, and more dismayed that I did not include her.
On behalf of women, by women, I thought we might pay homage to those that came before us, or are in our midst. i hope this goes over well. Im putting Amelia Earhart on the table.

Do they have to be American? If we take that out of it I can come up with a great list

I dont think they have to be American necessarily, perhaps they affected Americans, particularly women, to think or operate in new way that had lasting benefit (?).
