Names and PICS of outstanding women

Finding names and stories of outstanding (famous or not) rebbetzins or women of valour is already difficult. Finding them with a PIC or (official, "real") portrait is even more difficult.

Who are the outstanding ladies we can see a picture of? Help me add to this list!

Chaya Mushka Schneerson
Sarah Schenirer
Margalit Yosef
Libby Kahana
Gracia Mend�s
Esther Jungreis

judith Grunfeld.
lady Amelie Jacobovits.

you should easily find pictures of both of them. I have seen biogrophies of both as well. (there are probably several of judith Grunfeld)

Gluckel of Hameln? don't know if there is any pictures of her, unless she had her portrait painted.

There was a canadian Jewish newspaper which in its erev Rosh Hashana issue had a section on women of Valor in which they had biographies and pictures of a lot of famous Jewish women of the 20th century and before. Worth looking at. Don't remember the name of the newspaper, some big paper from Montreal which a friend of mine from there gets and had at her house.

There's a great book published by Artscroll called "The Bostoner Rebbetzin Remembers," written by Raichel Horowitz. http://www.artscroll.com/Books/bosh.html

It's not only a first-hand account of a great woman's life, but has pictures of her family, male and female, throughout the book.

Thanks, that's what I'm looking for! any more?

Miriam Pearlmutter

She is so modest, I'm not sure there are any photos of her, but I will try to see if I can get any.

Not�!

Anyone else?

Hannah Sennesh (I'd include a pic but I don't know how) she was a paratrooper for the Zionists who got captured by the Nazis and killed. Her diary was recovered.

How about Haifa Police Chief Ahuva Tomer who died just today from wounds she received in attempting to help her colleagues?
