Women.com published a list in 1999 identifying their choices for "Women of the Millennium." The Women.com Web site was integrated into IVillage.com, and the 1999 list and accompanying biographies are no longer available there. However, the list itself is still fascinating and useful. Where possible, I've linked to a biography or other resources on this site.
