Leaders You Are Inspired By

"Leader" and "inspiration" seem to go hand-in-hand. What's a leader who isn't inspiring? And if one is an inspiration, then is he/she not a leader if some way? Of course.

Rosa Parks--She was tired on the bus that day--that's why she didn't move. And I admire the fact that she never kept that a secret.
Martin Luther King, Jr.--A wise man of peace. So much to learn from him.
Nelson Mandela--Talk about a man of integrity.
Rep. Gordon Hintz--He convinces me that there are politicians who CARE!
Mary Daly--An amazing feminist and author.
Bono--His dedication to causes stretches over decades and has never been a publicity stunt.
Ryan Milbrath--He's practically perfect in every way. (It's kind-of sickening.) His writing, teaching, and general intelligence astounds me.
Deborah Ellis--A writer who exposes the atrocities of Third World countries.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton--Stoic, articulate, and grounded.
Gloria Steinem--Another woman of courage.
