This was good, but I think it would have been great if you would have provided a little more info under each woman. Hope you dont mind a constructive critic. I dont mean any harm. :)

This is a great list. Very good job!
Although I must agree with the first comment, I also want to emphasize that the writer has also the right to elaborate or not the article; it is now up to the readers to research for further information. :)
PEACE.
God Bless You!
