San Mateo, Calif., Dec. 30, 1999 (Business Wire) - In a
pivotal age when women from all walks of life strive to
be leaders and visionaries of their time, it's fitting
that Indira Gandhi, India's first female Prime Minister,
has been voted Woman of the Millennium. During her stay
in office, Gandhi organized a conference of nonaligned
third-world nations in 1983, which was attended by
diplomats from 101 countries. In the decidedly subjective
poll developed by Women.com Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: WOMN;
http://www.women.com), the premier Internet destination
for women on the Web, women chose the late prime minister
of India as the individual who best represents women's
accomplishments over the past thousand years.
To commemorate the "M" occasion with a suitably seismic
celebration, Women.com combed history books and Web sites
to create a list of one hundred outstanding female role
models of the last ten centuries. The poll included role
models who are household names --including Mother Teresa,
Joan of Arc, Helen Keller and Catherine the Great -- and
women whom even this recognition is unlikely to turn into
household names: Trotula of Salerno, Queen Amina of
Zazzua and Aphra Benn.
"We cast our net wide. We recognized warrior queens and
poets in Africa, rebels and rulers in Asia and Muslim
lands. We honored aristocrats and peasants, the famous
and the obscure," said Ellen Pack, Women.com founder and
senior vice president, "and we found the women who
participated in our poll to be as entertained and
inspired by these women's achievements as we were."
Women.com segmented one hundred foremothers and
contemporary female role models into nine categories:
activists, leaders, artists, athletes, healers, spiritual
leaders, trailblazers, warriors and writers. After
reading a personal profile on each of the candidates,
women voted on each century's selections, generating a
Millennium Top Ten. Of this pantheon, Indira Gandhi
emerged the favorite, with 39 percent of the more than
4,500 votes cast by Women.com visitors. A very close
second to Gandhi was another icon from India, Mother
Teresa -- a woman revered for her vow to serve "the
poorest of the poor" in Calcutta, India. TV talk show
host and businesswoman Oprah Winfrey came in third in the
voting, and civil rights notable Rosa Parks was fourth.
Queen Elizabeth I took the fifth spot.
"It's not surprising that Indira Gandhi, who is so highly
regarded for her leadership and courage, received so many
votes. She lived for her beliefs, which is what I think
we all aspire to, but often find difficult to do on a
day-to-day basis," Pack reflected. "When counting the
final votes, we found that four of the top five women
were women of ethnicity, which truly mirrors the
diversity of women who visit our network."
The poll "recognizes women whose lights will continue to
burn brightly for millennia to come, and keeps the spirit
of their contributions alive by sharing their
extraordinary stories with the world," said Pack.
The Top Ten Through Time
11th century: Godiva of Mercia.
She rode naked through the marketplace, cloaked in her
flowing tresses, so her husband would lower taxes. Her
name lives on in fine chocolates.
12th century: Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Sixty-five years a Queen, (15 for France, 50 for
England), she mothered ten, survived fifteen years of
castle arrest and donned armor in her 70s to crush a
rebellion.
13th century: Raziya Iltutmish.
She ruled Northern India when many of her countrywomen
were still confined to harems, built schools and
libraries, pursued foreign trade and minted her own
coins.
14th century: Catherine of Siena.
This mystic and illiterate Dominican nun became a
political powerhouse who brought peace to warring city-
states. She was later canonized.
15th century: Joan of Arc.
At 17, she led 4,000 French troops to a miraculous
victory at Orleans. Tried for heresy and burned at the
stake before her 20th birthday, she was eventually
elevated to sainthood.
16th century: Queen Elizabeth I.
She defeated the Spanish Armada, supported Shakespeare,
sent Francis Drake to circumnavigate the globe and Sir
Walter Raleigh to start a colony. All without a husband.
17th century: Elena Piscopia.
She excelled in seven languages, mathematics, music and
theology, becoming the world's first woman Ph.D., over
church objections. She later served the poor as a
Benedictine nun.
18th century: Sojourner Truth.
Born a slave in New York, Sojourner became a traveling
evangelist for the emancipation of women. After the Civil
War, President Lincoln invited her to the White House.
19th century: Marie Curie.
She earned two Nobel Prizes, for the discovery of
radioactivity and for isolating pure radium. She refused
to patent her finds, hoping they would have widespread
medical applications.
20th century: Indira Gandhi
As the first woman Prime Minister of India, Gandhi held
her office during the tumultuous `60's and `70's, and was
re-elected to the position in 1980. In 1983, Gandhi
organized a conference of nonaligned third-world nations,
which was attended by diplomats from 101 countries.

Some opinions on Mrs. Gandhi as promoted by "Dr." Jai Maharaj:

> Mohammed Yunus, a family friend, who had lived in the Anand Bhavan, for many years. Eventually,
> Sanjiv was fathered by Yunus. [Meaning Indira Gandhi's son was a bastard child as well]

And many other articles freely web-posted that character-assassinate,
promote ill-will toward and otherwise defame the entire Nehru/Gandhi
family. This Jai Maharaj is nothing short of an assassin in the night, a
blight on Indians and on humanity.
