When asked during the final round, which woman she would choose had she been given a chance to live one year in a woman's shoes, Palacios chose British philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft.


Asked in the final round who she would choose to spend a day in the life of, Palacios chose the 18th-century British philosopher and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, who she said broke boundaries and "gave an opportunity to many women.".


She cited the 18th-century British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft as an inspiration before dedicating her crown to "the girls of the world, the girl inside me … and the more than 6 million people of my country".


Both Woolf and Wollstonecraft argued far more stridently for women's rights than did Macaulay or her peers, a loosely connected group of 18th-century British women writers and thinkers known - sometimes derogatorily, sometimes affectionately - as the Bluestockings.
