These woman happened to be on the top of my head. With more time to think about it, I'm sure I could come up with 20 more (and maybe come up with more names not tied to the entertainment industry.)
@ Kirk -- Great suggestions, thanks! I'll put them on the list. I already featured Alison Bechdel on Sept 4/24 and Gloria Steinem on Sept 25/24. And I considered Marsha P. Johnson before too, but further investigation showed that Marsha did not identify as a trans woman but as a gay man in drag which, of course, is not equivalent.

ReplyDeleteImpressive lists already submitted! I would like to suggest Christine Sinclair, soccer phenom who captained the Canadian women's team to an Olympic gold medal and the Portland Thorns to much acclaim and glory. O Captain, my Captain!
