Last night I watched a Dateline NBC repeat about Ellen MacArthur. She is the tiny little woman who sailed solo around the world. Without a trace of vanity, she has become a hero.
And my god!! What she overcame!!! The pounding waves off South Antarctica, the never-ending boat mishaps (having to change sails, which can weigh as much as a car when factoring the awesome wind), the fatigue (not more than 1 hour of sleep at a time for 3 months), privations, loneliness....
You can read about her on the Internet! If you have any other "awesome, inspirational women" stories, post 'em here!!
