Call for Role Models

I am a 17 year old girl in desperate need of role models. I still feel like a kid and I don’t want to grow up trying to act like the girls on Gossip Girl or The Hills. I want to know who I can look up to. Jessica has been a role model ever since I read her first book (I had to buy it after seeing her on Colbert) but I want more books like that. I want to admire the people and the work of the media instead of trying to learn from its mistakes. I want to know anyone or anything that inspired the feminist in you.
Thank You!
