I do admire a lot of older women who are not well known, but I  can't thnk of anyone alive today that fits the "well known" category.

Sandra Day O'Connor

 

Condoleezza Rice

 

Mother Theresa

 

Golda Meir

 

Barbara Bush

 

Sr. Jean Kevin (my ninth grade teacher who had a great sense of fun, and made history come alive). 

 

My Mom, who before she was married supported her parents, and was a Wave in WWII.

 

My grandmother, who emigrated to this Country at age 13 by herself, to send money home to support her family.

 

My great aunt, who had to flee the land of her birth due to a genocide that took a number of her family, and later lived through WWII in an occupied country.

Do the math.

Maye Musk I think is the 70 yr old model for NYDJ & Carmen Dell'Orifice 82 year old model.  These ladies have not achieved historical significance but I do admire them.

Re: Famous Well Known Older Women You Admire

Admire, current tense----at this moment, no one comes to mind.  The women I did admire, are gone now.
