Note that there isn't a [[List of male role models]] either, nor a [[List of 
role models]]. But it seems a worthwhile article.

If you do create the article, make sure to cite a source for each entry, and 
to have several sources in the article, before you first click "Save". 

Here are some sources you could use:

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/richardtyler/3912041/Enterprising_women_name_role_models/

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/8102909/Are-these-the-women-we-really-admire.html

http://style.uk.msn.com/sex-and-relationships/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=155255707&page=1

http://www.forbes.com/2010/07/17/role-model-oprah-winfrey-angelina-michelle-obama-forbes-woman-power-women-jk-rowling.html

http://www.forbes.com/2010/07/17/role-model-angelina-jolie-hillary-clinton-michelle-obama-forbes-woman-power-women-jk-rowling_slide_2.html 

etc.

These should count as "reliable sources". Together they should be enough to 
establish the notability of the topic, so your article won't be deleted 
right away.

Of course, you may have better sources than these, but make sure that
whatever you cite has been put out by an established publisher with  
professional editorial oversight.

And sorry if you knew all of this already.
