Who is your best male and female public role model?

Susan B. Anthony: if it wasnt for her, I wouldn't be able to vote.

Simon Bolivar: Famous Colombian hero, if it wasn't for him, my country would still be Spanish land

If you mean people alive today, then for female it would be J.K. Rowling, became a billionare just by writing books, without the need of a husband, and she's a humanitarian. And not sure about male.
