• Man Behind the Woman:  This guy can work for or with a fabulous woman, or is in a domestic partnership with her
• Woman of Letters: A woman who educates the public through the written word
• Woman of Science: A researcher or scientist working on fantastic things
• A female business leader
• A young woman of note
• A woman of the arts
• A woman in education
• A female sports figure
• A woman of history, alive or deceased

• A female spiritual leader
• Any woman you think deserves recognition for whatever reason
