I'm not into politics, but I'm into pioneers who broke barriers.

Danica Patrick; Indy car racer

Pft... Danica Patrick didn't break any barriers!! She's just currently the top female driver right now. Now if you want a female that broke barriers in racing then go for Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, Ethel Mobley, Louise Smith, or Sara Christian!!

Heck Sara Christian was the top finisher for women (5th place) in a Nascar race in 1949!! A record that Danica only recently beat (by placing 4th in the Daytona 500).
