Introduction Eleanor Roosevelt is considered to be one of the most influential women of all time. Not only did she achieve an incredible amount on behalf of the United States throughout her life, but more importantly, she shattered the boundaries that defined the typical gender roles of her era. “She continues to haunt our memories and inspire our days, because she never gave up on life; she never stopped learning or changing. She worked to transform our world on behalf of greater dignity and more security for all people, for women and men in equal measure” (Cook 3). Born into a white, aristocratic family in New York City, Roosevelt began her life standing on the perfect foundation off of which she could propel into future success.
"The sisterhood thing is give or take. I'm perfectly good without that. The thing about women, particularly those who would be involved in a group like Golden Seeds, is they are mavens, they are trendsetters. They are dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs succeed."

Savvy businesswoman, author, philanthropist, producer, top model, television personality, Tony Award winner and — according to Forbes Magazine — Kimora Lee Simmons is one of the top “hardest working mothers in Hollywood.” Her energetic personality and stunning magnificence are familiar around the world, but these attributes only scratch the surface of one of the most dynamic and powerful businesswomen in fashion and entertainment. Kimora Lee Simmons has accomplished what many may not accomplish in a lifetime. In 1999, Kimora launched the phenomenon known as Baby Phat with then-husband Russell Simmons – the President and Founder of Phat Fashions – as the counterpart to Phat Farm, his pioneering men’s urban fashion brand. As the face of the brand and the prophet behind it, Kimora was the driving force behind Baby Phat and worked indefatigably to establish it as a premier metropolitan collection. When the brand first hit the scene, it was with tiny tees cleverly named Baby Phat (an acronym for “pretty, hot and tempting”) that were produced to electrify a Phat Farm runway show.
She had given china painting lessons to a few children in the town, but they grew older and once the last had come she didn’t take many visitors. They say she had fallen in love with a man, a Yankee man, which was not easily accepted by her peers. “A Grierson would not think seriously of a northern man”, they would say.

(p. 80) Young women really loved the bobbed hairstyle. One fashion magazine predicted that the bobbed hairstyle would not last very long, but it did and they were forced to show more bobbed hairstyles in their magazine. The cosmetic industry made lots of money as well because of all of the products they were pushing to women. By 1929, some 2,500 different perfume brands were created along with 1,500 face creams.

She then created her own magazine that is still the unofficial rival of Good Housekeeping (Bio.com). This multi-million dollar media franchise was all focused on her personal brand centered on her face, image, and name. This was not new to Martha after all of the years she supported herself as a model. She has it all – mother, wife, mogul. The hard work paid off.
