I'm quite partial to a bit of MARY OF GUISE :disco: - portrayed by Fanny Ardant in Elizabeth in 1998.

Love a 90s WTA reference! :disco: But surely we go for the fabled Peak Pierce if we delve into the world of tennis Marys, no?! Mary Joe always struck me as so... vanilla. :/

Anyway, most chagrined that feminist trailblazer + passionate abolitionist and anti-monarchist + esteemed philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft is neither winning nor even listed while Linlithgow's notorious conspiratrice currently LEADS this thing?! That treacherous trollop ain't got NUTHIN' on Wollstonecraft who was the Enlightenment era's most badass mutha and disruptor of antiquated societal norms. Where is the respect! (I can understand being somewhat critical because she indirectly inflicted a second-rate GCSE text upon so many of us, but the dear woman paid for that Shelley creature with her LIFE after all.)

From those in the poll, while I'm partial to a bit of Seacole (particularly for the revealing attitudes that her mere presence foments amongst certain historical gatekeepers), I'll have to throw my lot in with Miss Magdalene. A penitent whore who eventually finds redemption = the kind of aspirational narrative which I hope to one day self-actualise. :disco: And I will always stan a Palestinian sister.
