These early years were the subject of her bestselling memoir. Because of her trials and tribulations this woman has a great ability to do the impossible. She has conquered all her goals, and developed a great authority over life. In spite, of all her success she continues to be humble, and find a way to give the greatest reward. She donated her correspondence with America’s great black cultural figures to Harlem’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
Americas Beloved It’s a great thing to come from the bottom and reach the top. However things aren’t just handed to you, people have to work hard to get to the pedestals that there in. Oprah Winfrey wasn’t born an entrepreneur but she worked hard to get there. Oprah is best known for her multi-award-winning talk show. This show has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history.
She was a pioneer not only for women, but for all people. She inspired not only black woman, but she inspired businessmen, all women, and America people in general. Being born in Richmond, Virginia as a black woman not only was a blessing but it inspired her to become more than just a black woman, it inspired her to become a teacher, an editor, an entrepreneur and a community activist. But
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.
She deserves to be in our hall of fame because she beat her underprivileged childhood, for holding many awards and recognitions for her popular singles, for her amazing comeback from a tragic downfall, and her charity work. Despite having all of her success
To put it simply, my mom is truly the most amazing woman I have ever met. She is always selfless, helpful, caring, and above all, loving. My mom lives by many great life quotes, these quotes all have played a major role in making me who I am today and continue to have a notable influence in my life. "Be the change you wish to see in the world." This quote started as I got a little bit older and began to find out who I really was.
She has a great impact on American pop culture and the lives of women with her empowering music by planting a message in the society that being a female means she is in control and aiming to success comes with hard work. Beyonce Knowles is an influential icon in popular culture with her award-winning songs and top quality performances while at the same time, managing her million dollars businesses and playing the role of a wife and mother. She marks her place as a female artist that will be remembered over many years to come because she sets the standard of perfection in the music industry and she has inspired fellow singers and performers to follow her footsteps. British singer Leona Lewis commented, “Beyonce is great, so lovely and down to earth and talented. She’s inspiring”.
Eleanor Roosevelt extraordinarily differed from the expected role of women in her period, she had become recognised as more than just the First Lady of America, taking a far more politically active role than any other first lady before. More predominantly the influence and achievement of impact of her unceasing activist enthusiasm aided people of suffering and need, recognising all Americans as equals regardless of gender, colour and status. Effortlessly Eleanor strongly vocalised, aspired and achieved many efforts which would aid American society, thus when becoming Franklin Roosevelt’s wife, surrounded by the political world, her enthusiasm to “help people help themselves” expanded her achievements on an international level too. During WW1, Franklin was appointed Assistant Navy Secretary, which gave Eleanor her first opportunities of aid in government support extending her love for voluntary work. She took on the role of fulfilling social obligations and voluntary jobs such as working for two private aid organisations which assumed a quasi-government role in providing supplemental care for seaman and all servicemen, generally the Navy Relief Society, which focused on the special needs of sailors and the American Red Cross.
In my point of view from all the research I have done women tend to have more interest in political events and are interested in what is happening around them and how it is going to affect them and their families. Another example of a woman role model in politics is Ms. Sonia Sotomayor. She was in a poor position since a young age but as she expressed her feelings and continued to have excellent grades she progressed; after all the hard work she has put into her education she is now the 1st Hispanic women and 3rd in line female to become an associate justice in the supreme
There were many inspirational women during the 1950’s but the one woman that struck me the most was the beautiful Marilyn Monroe. If I ever had the opportunity to travel back in time to be someone else, I would choose to be her. She was an inspiration to young girls everywhere because she was so comfortable in her skin. She also took her talents to the top and became a mega star. Regardless if it’s 2012 or 1950, young girls struggle with self-confidence issues.
