The Blessed Virgin Mary should be the first on the list. She said "yes" when asked to be the Mother of God. Without her cooperation - well lets just say "No Mary - No Jesus" - "Know Mary - Know Jesus."

Esther: Her story is a tribute to beauty treatments!
There is SO much more to these women!

Her story is one of great heroism and faith, who literally saved the Jews from genocide.
