Modern Day Me

      In the 1940's, I believed that women could soon rule the world. I knew that us ladies had just as much (if not, more) potential as men, and could achieve anything that we set our minds to. Seventy years later, my ladies have made me proud. Women have risen up to the occasion, earning thousands of dollars a year, being single mothers, voting in political elections, and all while looking stunning in four inch heels.
      Here is a list of some of my Modern Day Rosie's. The women in this list have all set amazing examples for women everywhere; leading womankind into new opportunities, presenting new ideas, and changing the rules on what it means to be a woman.

Oprah Winfrey (1954)

Oprah is best known for her self-named talk show, but she is also an actress, producer, and philanthropist. Oprah was rasied by a teenage mother living below the poverty line, and was accordingly raped at just age nine. In high school, Oprah was the school radio host, and from there thrived from her love of media. Oprah has been ranked the richest African-American of her century, as well as the world's only black billionare. Due to all this, Winfrey has been dubbed the world's most influential woman.

 Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (1982)

More commonly known as Kate Middleton, this average commoner enchanted the whole world when she married Prince William. The engagement made people everywhere fall in love with fairytales once more. Middleton reinstigated the belief that classy is stylish. Her mannerisms and conservative nature charmed the world, and is said to have caused an effect on young girls everywhere. Revealing clothing was out, conservative clothing was in. This fashion phenomenom was dubbd "The Kate Effect" in Europe.

Lady Gaga (1986)

Also known as Stephani Germanotta, Lady Gaga is a singer and songwriter from New York City. Gaga states that she did not come from a wealthy household, and her family had to work for everything. She was first founded by R&B singer Akon, who helped her release her current three albums, a numerous number one hits. Gaga is most well known for the huge change she brought to the music industry- to her, it was not just a song, but an act. Gaga does not go anywhere without a costume, a prop, and a story. Her shows remind audience members of a circus. On top of altering the music industry, Gaga is a philanthropist who actively pushes for gay rights, and end to HIV/AID's, and owns an organization to stop bullying.
