In at least one way, she is like our two 'great ladies' - her father founded the modern Burmese army and negotiated Burma/Myanmar's freedom from the British. But the rest is totally different =p
She is incredibly articulate and is a thought provoking speaker/writer. Last year, I listened to her give a couple of lectures over the BBC World Service. I'd encourage everyone to listen to it:

(Then go watch the movie about her if you must xD)
