Pen's Nest

are you including historical women in that? because there are probably a bunch, especially from other regions, that might be very interesting. I'm thinking of people like the famous Chinese pirate Ching Shih, or some of the Victorian women who went off to explore the Sahara or whatever.

if you're looking at modern political figures, you might see if there's one for Angela Merkel or even Hilary Clinton. and while she might not strictly meet the descriptor 'high achieving woman' because so much of her identity has been tied up with her husband's career, Michelle Obama is a fascinating person who has done a lot to focus attention on bringing educational opportunities to girls around the world. I just bought her bio for my mom for Xmas.
