  5. 12. She also appeared in the last crossword puzzle (thanks, Kole), but in addition to her moonlit 'day job' she is also credited for being the first woman to lead a US combat operation.
  6. 13. Raise a drink for this suffragette! Wait, don't do that, she wasn't a fan of the drink. So raise a glass of water for this woman who helped pave the way to the addition of the 19th amendment. She even got her own dollar coin for her troubles.
  7. 15. Ahh, what's to say that hasn't already been said? I'll just say this: civil rights icon.
