GEORGIA O’KEEFE Among the great American artists of the 20th-century, Georgia O’Keeffe stands as one of the most compelling. For nearly a century, O’Keeffe’s representations of the beauty of the American landscape were a brave counterpoint to the chaotic images embraced by the art world. Her cityscapes and still lifes filled the canvas with wild energy that gained her a following among the critics as well as the public. Though she has had many imitators, no one since has been able to paint with such intimacy and stark precision. Georgia O’Keeffe was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin in 1887.
In 2000 Oprah and Hearst Magazines introduced O, The Oprah Magazine, that became very successful. In 2003, the Forbes magazine list of American billionaires included Oprah Winfrey—the first African-American woman to reach billionaire status. People trust Oprah. As a charismatic transformational leader, she articulates a realistic vision of the future that can be shared, stimulates subordinates intellectually, and has become charismatic in the eyes of her followers. She creates an atmosphere of openness in the organizations she leads, deals with difficult issues in a straightforward manner, listens well and shares information fully.
She developed such a strong personality that she was able to climb the rungs of broadcasting very quickly, even though very few African American women up to that time had become a major factor in the media. The woman is great at building a harmonious and synergistic atmosphere. Oprah has a positive survivor attitude that has allowed her to build herself up from many of her traumatic experiences instead of letting them break herself down. Oprah Winfrey acknowledged her grandmother's influence, saying it was Hattie Mae who had encouraged her to speak in public and "gave me a positive sense of myself". Her goal in life is to live out the truest expression of herself as a human being.

Christine de Pizan’s City of ladies: a monumental (re)ConstruCtion of, by, and for Women of all time Jill E. Wagner1 C hristine de Pizan’s Book of the City of Ladies, written over six centuries ago, is neither simple nor simplistic.

Fashioned as an allegorical city, it should be considered a potential textual buttress for contemporary feminist consciousness. Christine constructs her history as both an allegory and a city of ladies for several possible reasons. First, Christine can “speak” to readers by channeling her own persona into her main character.
Alice Neel, born in 1900, is known as one of the greatest American painters during twentieth century. As well as being a pioneer among women artists, Neel is often remembered for shunning avant-garde movements, often preferring to paint in her own unique style.

During the 1930s she enrolled as a member of the Works Progress Administration in New York. It was during this time that she painted much of her urban scenes.
