Chime in by country

Just a quick note to tell everyone how much I appreciate all of you. I would like to see if my readers would give a shout out and chime in by the country you hail from, and name a woman from your homeland that I , as an American, may not know of. I want to try and incorporate lesser known women from around the world into some of my caps. Don't worry I will still be using bigger well known stars too , I just want to try something a little different. Anonymous comments are fine as well as those folks who give names or nicknames. Again thank you all for reading and I hope you come back to this site time and time again.
