America's 13 most recognizable women. I looked at different lists from around the web and these are 13 the internet seems to agree on.

Now by recognizable, we're talking face recognition. Not beauty, not accomplishment (though some are both beautiful and accomplished). These are American women who can be identified by their faces alone. That accounts for the list beginning in the late 19th century, when it became easier for newspapers and magazines to reproduce photos.

Here they are in chronological order, based on when they dominated the national consciousness. I'm presenting it twice -- first photos, then names. How many did you recognize by face alone?
