Reflection+on+The+Modern+Woman

The last, but most important, evolution in the role of women in society is the modern woman. Currently, women hold a lot of power in the United States. Take Hillary Clinton, for example. Though not everyone would agree that she is one of the most powerful people in the U.S., she is the only woman, so far at least, to run for president. One cannot deny that only a powerful woman would have the courage to try and change American society and its viewpoint of what an American president should be. She is changing the stereotype, and for this reason, I see her as being someone powerful. Another powerful woman in society is Oprah Winfrey. As one of the richest people in the world, she has been able to do so much with her money and power. She has her own magazine, her own T.V. show, her own T.V. channel, and even a girls' school in South Africa. Oprah and Hillary both show that women have brains and are more than just trophy wives. There is also the great wonder woman. She is the all powerful woman. She breaks the stereotype that woman are weak and can't handle things like men can. When I think of a powerful woman that breaks the line between what a man can do and what a woman should do, I think of Fa Mulan. It is a story that many of us grow up to with watching. This Disney movie instead of promoting the image of housework promotes that woman can do what they put their whole heart into. Together, they represent ** the modern woman. **
