Thanks!
I spent ages making it.
I know putting in those pop girls is a little far-fetched, especially Rih and Katy, but I think they are iconic for this generation, and they will certainly be iconic in the future, I feel.

Believe it or not I actually considered putting Iggy in there just because I love her so much and I think she will be iconic in the future.

This list is so well done, wow. I understand the inclusion of most of the pop girls because this is atrl, and I bet you have a list without most of them for other means.

I was going to put in Joan of Arc and Eleanor Roosevelt but for some reason I didn't.
I didn't want to put in too many historical figures tbh, because obviously you can only put in portraits and it all becomes a bit... vague.
It is the same reason I didn't include Pocahontas and Boudicca. The only historical figures in there are Marie Antoinette, Cleopatra and Elizabeth I.
Oh, and Rosie the Riveter isn't there for the same reason Minnie Mouse and Jessica Rabbit aren't there, because they are not real people!

Cut out Katy, Rihanna, P!nk, and Uma Thurman... and you will have a pretty decent list! Saying they will be "iconic" is pretty comical when you left out second tier pop girls of the past like a Mariah Carey or Janet Jackson.
I would also add Diana Ross, Barbara Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Julia Roberts, Michelle Obama, Jackie Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt, Naomi Campbell, and Joan of Arc.

Good list. Not them all are really iconic, but you are right about most of them.

Uma Thurman's Pulp Fiction poster is very iconic though.
And I had to put some pop girls in there to cater for ATRLers.

Just out of curiosity, which ones do you think aren't iconic?
