Princess Diana remained in everyone’s memory as a worthy example to follow thanks to the humanitarian work she carried out during her time as Princess of Wales. Diana also supported the campaign to ban landmines, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997. She is also appreciated for being one of the first celebrities photographed in 1987 to touch a person infected with HIV, and destroying the stigma built around the disease.

If we don’t want to reduce the number to 10, I’d also include Harriet Tubman.
I’d replace Diana with Elizabeth I.
On the basis of Lincoln calling her “the little lady who started the big war” and because “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was a worldwide bestseller that sold more copies world wide in English and in translations, I would also include Harriet Beecher Stowe. And because Hanna Arendt included her in her book “Men in Dark Times,” I would also include Rosa Luxemberg. And what about Florence Nightingale and Margaret Sanger?
