a question for the day...

I am in the mood to give some homework, so here is a question that a friend of mine asked. I'll give you my answers after you answer.

Name 5 famous women

That is it, simple? I'll tell you why it's not later.

Peace, love, beer,

5 Famous Women? It's not simple, because what constitutes Famous? Heros/name recognition/celebrity status/lasting throughout time/Famous in pop culture/etc etc etc

Thoughout Time:

Amelia Earhart
Rosa Parks

Pop Culture:
Angelina Jolie

Anon - Nicely done! I appreciate both lists and think it is a fantastic tribute to your thought process that you came up with 5 women whoe are not movie stars, etc. Well done.

I agree, not so easy when you consider the range of possible answers. Although I think that a proper answer would include one from each of the sub-categories listed by anonymous.
Here goes
Heros - Jeanne d'Arc(Joan of Arc)
Celebrity Status - Marilyn Manroe
Lasting Through Time - Ceopatra
Name Recognition - Cher
Famous in Pop Culture - Paris Hilton (God only knows why)

HA! -Original Anon here- Can you tell I'm a Republican :)

I liked Monte's answer as well. I should have ranked my list of all of the above, but I did think hard to not pick just celebs that are movie/TV actress/sports stars/etc There is so much more then theatrical talent that makes the person.

Original Anon - Good point, it is tough to think of historical people rather than this silly "star" power crap that is going on.

Oprah
Hillary Clinton
Condoleezza Rice
Princess Diana
Mother Teresa
The Virgin Mary
and the back ups
Betsy Ross
Vanna White
Carmen Electra
Paris Hilton
Mondona
Lindsay Lohan
Cindy Crawford
Marilyn Monroe
Kelly Ripa(from Regis and Kelly)
Barbra Streisand
Marykate and Ashley Oslen (counts as two)
Rosie O'donnell (had to have a fat chick on the list)
Rupaul (I don't think that counts)
Britney Spears
Jennifer Aniston

and I'm spent

and I didn't even look at anyone else's answer

Your homework wasn't very difficult. Maybe if the question was more definitive.
