Let me submit the name of Elizabeth Campbell of Arlington, Virginia. Ms. Campbell served as dean at Mary Baldwin College then moved with her husband to Arlington in the 1930s. She became a civic and educational leader. After campaigning to get Arlington an elected school board in the late 1940s, she was elected as its chair person. After the 1954-55 Brown decisions, she drew up a plan to desegregate the Arlington schools. The General Assembly responded by taking away the elected school board and beginning the campaign of Massive Resistance. With her husband, she worked to keep the Arlington and Virginia schools open during that dark time. In 1959, she founded Washington's (and Northern Virginia's) first public and educational television broadcasting stations--WETA. She worked on many civic and public endeavors right up to death at the age of 100. A truly remarkable person, one who made Virginia a better state.
