I'm a fan of Joan of Arc.
If you don't know Joan of Arc but know Snookie I honestly have to chase you around with a base-ball bat or hockey stick. Joan of Arc was raised a farm girl. She stood against the tide of being treated like an object (wore mens clothing/armour), fought in the late part of the Hundred Years War against the English on French soil, and was captured and burned to death on the steak at the age of 19 as she had an unfair religious trial that was corrupted by English politics. 25 years later the Pope authorized the examination of the trail in which she was then pronounced innocent and declared a martyr. After her death she became a huge symbol of France. Joan of Arc or "The Maid of Orleans" is remembered as a brave warrior, Roman Catholic saint, and a national heroine of France. Joan is a REAL woman.
