Introduction Over the last two centuries, several women have stood out in the current male-dominated society. These women have not only influenced the lives of other women, but they also have inspired the world at large(Demarzo, Vayanos,& Zwiebel, 2003, p. 7). They act as role models. These women include Coco Chanel, Elena Kagan, Michelle Obama, Margaret Thatcher, Oprah Winfrey, and Madonna among others. The essay will only focus on Coco Chanel, Oprah Winfrey, and Madonna. Gabrielle Bonheur Coco Chanel was a French fashion designer born on August 19, 1883. Coco Chanel became the top French modernist fashion, whose approach and technique revolutionized the global fashion industry. She was the first fashion designer to be listed in the Times among the most influential personalities of the 20 th century. Coco came from a very humble background and had to solicit funds from her rich friends to open her first hat store in the French city of Paris in 1910. Her hats gained popularity among women in Paris. Besides, they requested her to design their clothes. Three years later, she opened another shop in Deauville. In 1915, Coco opened an additional store in Southern France in a town called Biarritz (Evans, 2008, p. 1). In the 1920s, Coco Chanel expanded its products to include jewelry, perfumes, and cosmetics. During the same period, she started expanding her business globally. Her perfume (Chanel No.5) is one of the most successful brands in the last 100 years. The year 1920 was a very important year of liberation for women. It was a year where women were elected in numerous positions across Europe and America. Also, it was a year when women were increasingly considered for professional jobs, formerly preserved for men. Coco’s fashion represented these socio-political changes. She started by introducing elegant casual clothes for women, for instance, collarless cardigan jackets, cut-dress, and shoestring shoulder strap (Evans, 2008, p. 2). On the other hand, Oprah Winfrey is a renowned actor, writer, and TV personality. Oprah was born on January 29, 1954, in rural Mississippi. She was raised by a single parent. Her parents separated soon after she was born. Oprah grew up in poverty and frequently had to dress in tatters for which she was ridiculed at school. She was also abused sexually during her childhood. After finishing her college education, she became interested in media and journalism. She got her first job as a TV presenter at a local TV station (Evans, 2008, p. 2). Oprah’s emotional approach did not go down well with her first job. As a result, she was reassigned to an ailing afternoon talk show. After she took over, the chat program gained more popularity and this, later on, led to her TV show. Oprah Winfrey’s show is one of the most prosperous and vastly watched TV shows across the globe. It has surpassed numerous socio-cultural barriers. Besides, Oprah remains one of the most influential personalities among women folks, particularly for African American women. In the recent past, the show has focused mostly on matters of spirituality, individual support, and self-growth (Hendren, 2012, P. 190). Nutrition has also been a principal subject in the show. Oprah’s diet book has been sold in millions of copies across the globe. Furthermore, Oprah’s book club i
