[KS] Query: Korean American Woman who has impacted US History?

[nuski at verizon.net]

Hello, 

We're seeking a Korean American woman who was historically significant in
the US, and who is no longer living (below).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Matthew Benuska

Hello, I was wondering if you could help point me in the right direction.  I
teach fourth grade in Illinois. We are having our students research
important Americans in history. We are going to have them portray this
person in a mock Wax Museum. I have a student in my class that would like to
portray a Korean American Woman. Part of the rules of the project are that
this person has impacted United States History and is no longer living and
that they would be able to find a lot of information on this subject. I have
found a wealth of influential Korean Americans, but they do not meet the
criteria.  I was hoping that you could help point me in the right direction.
Thank You,
Heidi
