Well known locally:

My grandmother, born in 1900 who taught me what it was to be a strong woman.  She ran the largest privately owned store in town for 50 years.  She also ran all of the men who worked there, including my grandfather, dad, and uncle who had graduated from the Citadel.

My senior teacher, her husband became Speaker of the NC House.

  She showed me what a young woman in that time could aspire to.

My best friend's mother, a county commissioner for 25 years.

  She listened to me, validated me, and was always proud of me.  I got my love of primitives from her.  Until she passed, I made her a large pound cake, a big tray of fudge, and homemade cookies every Christmas.

Another nod to Eleanor Roosevelt.

Those are the same I would select ...

Additionally .... Katherine Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy.

Nancy Wilson

Margaret Sanger

Joan of Arc

Golda Meir

A wide variety of interesting answers, except @chrystaltree who might want to eat some humble pie. My general answer is first ladies because they acquire a job they may not have coveted, but do it with grace.
