Among them are: Helen Keller, the Duchess of Windsor, Marie Antoinette, Rosa Bonheur, Greta Garbo, Mary Queen of Scots, Eleanor Roosevelt, Anna Pavlova, Mary Baker Eddy, George Eliot, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Lady Astor, Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte, Anne Boleyn, Marie Curie, Queen Victoria, Emmeline Pankhurst, Sarah Bernhardt, Madame de Pompadour, Jenny Lind, Jane Austen, Catherine the Great, Florence Nightingale, Mary Pickford, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Catherine de’ Medici, Louisa May Alcott, Queen Isabella, Elizabeth I, Lucrezia Borgia, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
