Female GP Names

[soul-breathing]

for great justice

In China we don't like Jiang Qing at all, generally she is guilty to this country.

I think he's just being contemptuous towards yet another culture he can't comprehend.
I'm pretty sure he knows Jiang Qing's reputation already; it's just best to ignore that as it was a post of no value.
Notice how he hasn't contributed any GP names to this thread.

Some additional contributions for America:

Great Artists:

Laura Elizabeth Ingalls Wilder
Aretha Louise Franklin

Great Prophets:

Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe
Charlotte Perkins Gilman

In my opinion, Female GP names should only be added if there was available. No made-up from deities or forcing unsuitable one into any of the category. Let it mix with the Male GP names.

Does singers as great artist count as a suitable one?

 

[BenZL43]

If the singer is really legendary that her popularity exceed nations boundary, and has superb singing and musical talent - that's a Yes from me.
Think of Justin Bieber, for example. She can be a great Artist from Canada civ srpt is working on

I always though it was a great spy if you produce that kind of "music".

Umm... Justin Beiber is a guy.

Umm... Justin Beiber is a guy.

We can never be sure of that.

So I'm going through all of the women in the Female Great People modcomp and making up a spreadsheet of their GP classification and what civ(s) they would best fit into. I've gone through the artists, engineers, and merchants already and I've started to notice a few trends:

- The majority of the women I've gone through are English, French, or American.

- There are only a handful that are of non-European decent.

- Some of them, especially the engineers, are really stretches. A few of them didn't even have a Wikipedia page.

- They seem to only be going with women who are already dead. Are we going to be sticking to that rule here as well? I can think of some great women who are still alive and kicking today.

Thanks, that will be helpful. Living GP are no problem in my opinion, but their position as a great person needs to be well-established.

Egypt

Hatshepsut - Great Prophet
Tiye - Great Merchant
Nefertiti - Great Prophet

India

Maitreyi - Great Prophet
Gargi Vachaknavi - Great Prophet
Meera - Great Prophet
Rani Durgavati Maravi - Great General

[The ones below are colonial-to-modern era and might be a bit late to include]

Kittur Chennamma - Great General
Abbakka Rani - Great General
Rani Lakshmi Bai - Great General
Asima Chatterjee - Great Scientist
Mother Theresa - Great Prophet
Indra Nooyi - Great Merchant (if we're okay with still-living individuals--also, she might be more American)

Generally, Prophets, Artists and Generals seem to be the easiest to find -- Scientists, and especially Merchants and Engineers, are much harder.

Some possible candidates:

For the US:

Ingrid Newkirk (founder of PETA, not sure what she would be. Perhaps a Great Prophet, but she is certainly influential)

Cynthia Kenyon (Great Scientist, Aging researcher http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_Kenyon)

Sylvia Earle (Great Scientists) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Earle "Earle was the first female chief scientist of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and was named by Time Magazine as its first Hero for the Planet in 1998"

Drew Gilpin Faust (president of Harvard, and a historian, so also not sure what to do with her, but clearly important) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Gilpin_Faust

Safra A. Catz (Great merchant, oracle executive) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safra_A._Catz

Mary Sue Coleman (Great Scientist) chemist, and Michigan University President

Canadian (so for Britain or the US):

Shirley Tilghman (Great Scientist), first female president of Princeton, second female Ivy League president, and leading molecular biologist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_M._Tilghman

Canada is already a civ.

 

[spaceman98]

Canada is already a civ.

In the SVN?

 

[Atlantic Pacf.]

In the SVN?

I'm pretty sure than he's talking about srpt's Canada modcomp; if it's a civ in the base game, then that's news to me.

Turns out Canada's actually a civ! That's news to me! Anyways, the SVN is 788.

 

[spaceman98]

Add Yelena Serova as a candidate great scientist for the Russians (first Russian woman on the international space station)

Sorry for taking so long! This whole "Let's get the Bachelor's before the year is up" is killing me.

Problem is, for the Inca it is *really* hard to come up with GP names/possible functions. Women of renown were either Priestesses, or Coyas (Sapa Inca's wife).

Thus I'll include just 5 names of the "most transcendent Sapa Incas", instead of the whole 13 names (for there were 13 of those).

Mama Uqllu (Manco Capac's wife. Could be an imaginary being, as she reputedly "came out from the waters of the Titicaca Lake)

Mama Anawarkhi (Pachacuti's wife)

Qorihillpay (Capac Yupanqui's wife, formerly the daughter of a tribe enemy to the Incas that was assimilated)

Mama Chiklla (Yawar Waqaq's... Wife. He conquered the Chankas, the Inca Empire's archenemies)

Coya Cusirimay (Huayna Capac's wife)

There are more names for famous Peruvian women though. That didn't happen to be wives or priestesses. I could throw those in as well, if you want.

 

[Leoreth]

Why not.

 

[cudfather]

Marie Skłodowska-Curie, that's her Polish family name. If you want her as a French GP, then please at least keep the double surname.
