What about International Men's Day? This trout be sexist, yo.

My mother, my grandmother, and my "aunt" are perhaps the biggest female role models, as well as just general role models, in my life. My mother raised me and both of my brothers as a single mother and did a wonderful job doing so. Likewise, my grandmother and my "aunt" (who is really just a close family friend, but has been thought of as family since I was in the fourth grade) took over for my mother after she passed away. My grandmother, particularly, came out of retirement so she could support the three of us through high school and only just retired for a second time (10+ years after coming out the first time).

I don't really know about famous women inspiring me though. There are certainly enough of them that have done good things and most of them have been mentioned already.
