Interesting that with the exception of Oprah, everyone on your list (and both additional recommendations) are men. How about:
Anne Frank
Susan B. Anthony / Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Clare Boothe Luce
Eleanor Roosevelt (easily just as interesting, and possibly more so, than her husband)
Harriett Tubman
Marie Curie
Grace Murray Hopper
Florence Nightingale

...just for starters.

I like Oprah Winfrey, so I think you can try to include this in your plan.
