Yeah - lots of people have mentioned her. I just don't think she's an idol dating back to childhood. Whereas Nader - he was the first person to stand up to multinational corporations ... Americans got seatbelts in their cars thanks to him - and that was only the beginning ...

Another thought: one of the 1960s astronauts? I'm thinkin' of someone who completely captured the imagination and admiration of 7- or 10- or 12-year-old Scotty!

Maybe Dr. Louis Leakey?!
