PS TO SHEROES

When I made the previous list of 100 public figures identified as women who impacted me and my life with their ideas and activism and art and lives, I numbered it so I could know when I reached a hundred. It was not a ranking, just going over my life from boyhood to now. The names just  kept coming even after that first hundred, so here's the rest. (I fell asleep at Helena with several more on my mind but couldn't remember them when I woke, then it started again after Helena (whose last name I had to look up) and ended at 200. I know there are many more that didn't come to mind in the moment.
