Inspirations

This page is to help with coming up with some ideas for IBDC's Woman of History Makeover Contest doll entry.

It could be a real person such as Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, Boadicea, Joan of Arc, Amina, Harriet Tubman, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, Indira Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Audrey Hepburn, or Oprah.

It could also be a historical fictional/mythical character. Examples include: Helen of Troy, Lilith, Penelope, Circe, Brunhilde, Mu Lan, Guinevere, Lady Macbeth, Juliet, Scheherazade, Anne of Green Gables.

Here are a few helpful links for bios, clothing, and pictures of famous women.
