Princess Diana was not a particular ‘intelligent' teenage student and was negatively impacted by the divorce of her parents. She was not from particular autocratic ‘high' standards and compared to her peers, she was seen as poor. She lived her life as an ordinary woman and could actually not be bothered about what was expected from her. She worked on own initiative and followed her interests. Despite all that happened, all the talent such as ballet dancing she possessed and all the ambitions she had, she faced many unexpected obstacles which she seemed to have ignored.
This woman became famous, wanted, praised and honoured mainly due to her caring nature, her passion for feminism, her participation in voluntary actions, her voluntary contribution in community and her initiatives to organise awareness events etc. She managed to make herself ‘popular' and the ‘miss photogenic' of the century. Just as hope seemed to have faded away, she somehow succeeded in finding appropriate suitable alternatives that caught her interest. She well deserves the honorary title ‘Princess.'
Oprah is an incredibly powerful woman. She has grown up in neighborhoods with poor living conditions, she has been abused from an early age onwards by people who she would usually expect support from, and she could only expect encouragement from her grandmother with whom she used to live in togetherness in poverty. There is no combination better that ‘Media' and a woman called ‘Oprah Winfrey.' After she had been recruited several times, she then decided to move on and start her own talk show in which she discussed various topics and helped particular individuals, couples and groups of people as much as she could. Because she has a lot of power now, It is very impressive that a woman with such bad past experiences does not have any sense of revenge on lower class people after she had struggled so much in life. She has empathising (facial) expressions and nobody can criticise her before appreciating her work. For a woman of reasonable age and wide background, it is very inspiring that she remains optimistic and still hopes for the future. She has more than enough to eliminate her ‘Hunger' with and shares her tangible wealth with others. Beside that, she feels she has the responsibility to improve the world.
More into my generation, Tyra Banks is for me the most inspiring woman. She is a young actress, singer, model and ‘Businesswoman.' She proves that beauty, fashion, talent and knowledge do match up, and that whatever age you are, as she started her career at a quite young age, there is no need to let yourself down because every woman has a story. She made this clear in her talk show aimed at younger generation to convince them of their capabilities. Tyra has not only changed physically and academically but her life has also changed demographically which requires a lot of personal knowledge, stability and perseverance. She tries to bring over her positive aspects to younger women who lack of confidence to get them back on track because women cán make a change. She knows that by giving advice only won't help these women; therefore she provides them with ‘opportunities' and ‘publicity' through the ‘America's next top model' television programme which she hostess and is one of the judges in it.
