example of courage? They are plenty that i thought where great but to me i have to pick Helen Keller. For this woman to bravely fight the odds & live her life despite being both blind & deaf is simply amazing & a true example of courage.

There are many great American women to choose from, but Sacajawea--or Sagajawea, the Shoshone woman that guided the Lewis and Clark Expedition across the country and back, has my stronger vote.

Had she and her son, Pompeii, not been with the expedition, Lewis and Clark may have never completed their mission. Most Indians that encountered the expedition saw the woman and baby, realizing the travelers were peaceful.

Just as important, Sacajawea often translated between Indian and explorer, learning routes and best ways to navigate them.

Her husband--yes, her baby was legitimate--was a French fur trapper named Touissant Charbenou.

I viewed a documentary about Eleanor Roosevelt and I would say in many ways. She was the first president's wife to be really involved in many issues. bettyk
