In Praise of the Sublime

I have just discovered that it is International Woman's Day. Interestingly late last night I had been reflecting with a friend upon some of the individuals who most intrigue, transfix and inspire me. The five people I talked about that evening all happened to be woman. So it would seem appropriate on this day to pay homage to three of these singular individuals here. I feel that I cannot adequately express their importance to me in a post such as this, but I do plan to write much more on them one day when I have the skills to do them justice (to find out more about these woman click on their picture).
