And sure Katherine Hepburn was a remarkable woman. but "inspiring?" Because she wore pants?

Eugenics weren't all that unfashionable then. Anyone can make a mistake. Katherine Hepburn's mother worked with Margaret in the birth control campaign as well.

Here's a longer list that includes Clara Barton: http://teacher.scholastic.com/activi...en/notable.htm

As for Hepburn...trousers for women weren't exactly all the rage in her time.
