Grethe Cammermeyer, who challenged the military's ban on gays and lesbians serving, and was reinstated. I think it's cool, too, that she is still with her partner, Diane Divelbess.

Elena Kagan, currently serving as the U.S. Solicitor General (and the first woman to do so), and also currently on the short list to become the next U.S. Supreme Court Justice when Justice Stevens retires this summer. And, shhhhhh.....she's an out lesbian.

Jane Addams, the founder of modern-day social work.

She was also the second woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931 for her activism against war. She was known as an internationalist, a feminist and a pioneer of civil responsibility.

Very fascinating woman.
