9. I love all three of them and thanks!

who could choose between them all for an uppity title!

2. Agreed

These ladies were class acts

3. And they are my version of Texas... not this mutated mess that appealed to the LCD to break it.

Their words on those graphics are just as timely today as they were when spoken.

We need to know that women can be very strong leaders and support them.

Thanks, babylonsister.

15. These are the faces of REAL Texans!

These are the women responsible for change. They are a different breed than what has now consumed by beloved Texas. These women were tough, intelligent, dedicated, proactive and committed.

I remember them fondly and often.

16. Wonderful women

May there be more. And in every state!

[Botany]

17. You forgot Lady Bird Johnson

Her works for native plants, wildflowers, nature, and getting rid of bill boards
along interstates were wonderful and they are still paying benefits. She also got
many islands in the Potomac around D.C. protected as natural areas too.
