Turia Pitt
“Turia Pitt for her never-give-up-on-life attitude. She received burns to 65 per cent of her body. After years of operations and pain she completed the ironman race. She got married and had a baby. She is so inspirational; no matter what the circumstances, you keep going, one step at a time.” – Rocco Cacia
Rosie the Riveter
“Rosie the Riveter is the embodiment of all the good of a woman. Smart, takes action, a never-die attitude and mostly because she stood tall when her country needed her and led many others both in her country and out of it. She went on to inspire many other women in England, Australia and New Zealand to this day.” – Helen McMullan
