Actually yes norose Emily Pankhurst is probably mine too. I was thinking too "here and now" when I posted. I would have certainly been a supporter/activist.

The sufferagetts, wish I had an ounce of their courage, but I do try to speak up for social injustices .

Im the same as some of the others here, I don't really have any role models, especially people in the film industry, what would you aspire to? You don't know them, bit bizarre really.

None

I don't have any role models. I'm happy in my own skin and my own style. But I do admire most of the people who have been mentioned. I would however like to be as clever and quick witted as Sandy Totsvig and Sue Perkins.

As KatyK says there are people I admire but I don't model myself on them or aspire to be like them.

My sisters. I'm not sure if I have any famous role models. I admire a lot of their achievements but not sure I see them as role models.

I was musing on how my role models have changed over the decades - currently are Una Stubbs, Mary Berry, Joanna Lumley and always and forever Diana Rigg.

I wonder if this will change in the coming years.

Who do you admire?
