#6 Aung San Suu Kyi (1945 - present) is an accomplice to mass-murder and genocide! She should not be on anybodys list! :-(

Ian Swindale

I agree with Halldor Halldorsson about Aung San Suu Kyi. What makes it so sad is that she was a real beacon of hope at one time but is now directly or indirectly involved in the trials and tribulations of the Rohingya. To me the most remarkable lady is the young Pakistani Malala Yousafzai. There have been some weird choices for Nobel Peace Prizes but this young lady is surely one of the most deserved of all.

If you want to help yourself - help somebody else.

George Christoforidis

Yes. I have a lot of respect for woman.

Colin de Kock

Maybe Aung San Suu Kyi could explain her quote to the Rohinga people.

Ian Swindale

It is Malala Yousafzai who is so inspirational. A truly very remarkable young lady

Linda C Dunne

Very inspiring. Women Be yourself.

David Ching

Kathryn Cavanagh, I suggest you clear your cache (with Ccleaner or similar)

Ann Larson

Agreed, take of off the list

Kathryn Cavanagh

Wouldnot load fully, so didn't bother. This is happening too frequently for my liking.

Greta Fridlund

I don't think you should stop at 8 women - Maya Angelou and Eleanor Roosevelt and so many more! Keep it going!

Cathie Roth Lonnquist...Malala has been an inspiration, to me, ever since I first read about her story, in a Magazine, a few years ago. To do what she has done, in such short time, is truly incredible! Her Nobel Prize win, was well earned! She deserved it, no doubt about that!

Malala Yousafzi has been an inspiration, to me, ever since I read about her story, in a Magazine, a few years ago. She fights for the rights of women, in Pakistan, to be able to get an Education. I think an Education is very important, and for women in counties, like Pakistan, getting an Education isn't allowed. Her Nobel Prize win, was well earned! Look her up, she's amazing!
