This is the event that began the downward spiral into the depression that would follow Horney throughout her life (Britannica encyclopedia, 2012). In 1906 Horney decided that if she could not be attractive then she would be smart and enrolled into medical school against both of her parents’ wishes. Horney was one of the first women to enter medical school. Little did anyone know that the events that would soon occur dramatically would change Horney’s life in many ways.
By any definition of the word, Oprah Winfrey is a leader, someone who has the influence and power to guide others. And when you look at the definition of charismatic – possessing an extraordinary ability to attract - there is no denying that Winfrey would transcend normal leadership to be categorized as a charismatic leader. Although she does lead groups of employees in her media empire, her leadership influence is primarily seen in her ability to influence viewers of The Oprah Winfrey Show and readers of ‘O’ magazine. In what is often called “The Oprah Effect”, when Oprah endorses an idea or product, everyone wants a piece of it. For example, when Oprah began her book club in 1996 whereby she selected a book for discussion on her show and encouraged her audience to read the book, she single-handedly bolstered the publishing industry and book sales (Hussain, 2007).

Kovalevskaya was recommended to move to Berlin to be privately tutored for four years by the famous mathematician, Karl Weierstrass (Cooke 89). “Her regular meetings with Weierstrass brought her knowledge of mathematician analysis up to the level of the very best student in the world” (Cooke 89). As a result of the four studious years Kovalevskaya spent with Weierstrass, she expanded her knowledge of differential equations, and she wrote three doctoral essays believing she would not receive a degree without astonishing evidence of her capabilities. In 1874, she received a doctorate in absentia from the University
The numbers are really amazing and we can only hope that one day woman will out number men on the playing field. Many people aren’t aware of how far woman have come since 1972, when Title IX was put into action. The text states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” Title IX opened the door to so many opportunities for woman, not only on athletic fields but also in the classroom. Women were now able to excel in all aspects of sports and education because athletic scholarships became available women. The woman on our poster included Shannon Miller, Sonja Henie, Billie Jean King, Mia Hamm, and Babe Didrikson.
Emma Willard opened a seminary for girls, in Troy, New York, in 1821. Her teaching methods were similar to ones used in the boys' schools, which horrified the parents. Yet clearly parents' disapproval did not stop the girls from wanting an education since from 1821-1872, 12,000 girls attended Willard’s school (Women in America). Once given the chance of an education, many of her students even went on to start their own schools. Yet after that, their was right to a higher education, such as a college.
While my road to RN was a challenging one, when I completed my goal I was able to instantly transfer into the position of telemetry nurse at the local hospital. At the same time, over 70% of my class was not able to find employment for over a year. How was it that I was able to achieve my goal so quickly? Was it luck? Yes, if luck is defined as Oprah has stated it to be.
