role model follow up

Thank you to everyone who wrote me with their suggestions for role models. Interestingly enough, with one exception, all the suggestions were women. But then again, all the respondents were women, so that may be a factor. Some people requested that I post a compilation so here it is.

Madeline Albright

Oprah

Michelle Rhee

Cathy Lanier

Taylor Swift 

Barack Obama (I especially love this suggestion because it came from a die hard Republican)

Condi Rice

Suze Orman

Admittedly the list is short, and if I left anyone off I apologize. But it's a start. Thanks again for giving me hope!
