Answer 1

a) Oprah, she came from rags and riches to major in Speeches at university, became a succesful,sensational talkshow host, and now she's rated as the most wealthiest Afro-American woman.

b) Tyra Banks kept silent about being discriminated and denied of her modelling opportunities in favour of the then more popular and bossy Naomi Cambell. She stayed strong and became also a supermodel in her own rights. She endured this scandal for 10-15 yrs and retired from the industry to finally speak out and put her past to rest. She then moved on to host a thriving talkshow and ANTM reality series.. At the same time, she became an admired role model who brings awareness and empowerment to young women by sharing her life lessons.

c) Afeni Shakur was an intellectual activist for the Black Panther movement and the mother of the late famous American rapper Tupac Shakur who suffered constant persecution for her beliefs . She was arrested and incarcinerated by FBI bcoz she stayed loyal and refused to disclosed information about her party members. She was in prison at the same time that she was pregnant with Tupac, and reportedly obtained court order that she gets fed an egg daily to nourish her unborn son. She acted as her own lawyer in trial and won her case. She was discriminated fom getting jobs and couldn't give her 2 children a stable life from moving house and searching for jobs. She battled drug addiction, but she was the biggest inspiration to her son's outspoken personality and successful rap career.

U might find that I mention only those black women, bcoz i coudn't think of other people. Black race and their ancestors survived many bad things, but they overcome many issues to become the success they are today. If u ask me about men, I will also hit on Malcom X and Marthin Luther King...

Oh! Florence Nightingale is a late 19th century, upper-class British woman who fought for women's rights to pursure careers rather than the traditional obligation to arranged marriage and family upbringing. She is noted for founding nursing profession, while paving the way to feminism. Her legacy lives after many medical institutions are built after her namesake.

Answer 2

If you are getting research from the internet and need to quote pop songs - then you dont deserve any respect from an intelligent human being till you go and educate yourself - if your American though - no need - you live in a third world failed state. Anyone answering cant be trusted to have anything intelligent, rational, informed or neutral to say- which just proves what a useless waste of time yahoo answers is - good job it doesnt come high up and search results to misguided people are influenced by it ... oh wait!!

Answer 3

Obviously you are eliminating men in your "studies" so I must assume that you are looking to make women and their achievements the subject. Since "A, B and C" are solely about women, it is certainly not diversity you are after.
Even before gaining the right to vote, women gained positions that feminism said was withheld from women. In the United States:
Mary K. Goddard was the first woman postmaster, 1775.
Hannah Adams was the first woman professional writer, 1784.
Lucy Brewster was the first woman marine, 1812.
Lucy Hobbs was the first female to graduate from dental school, 1866.
In 1869, Arabella Babb became the first woman admitted to the bar.
Francis Willard became the first woman college president in 1871.
Victoria C. Woodhill was the first female candidate for the office of president of the United States in 1872.
In 1887, Suzanna M. Salter became the first woman mayor (Argonia, Kansas).
Kate Gleason was the first female bank president in 1917.
Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to Congress, in 1916.
Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to receive a medical degree in 1849.

Women currently do not fight for rights since they have the same rights as men and more, but rather it is how much of the responsibility women wish to accept along with the rights they have, which is little or none. For instance, women demanded the right to vote and become holders of public office (even though they obviously already could hold office) without the responsibility of the requirement to register for selective service.
Men are held to a standard of responsibility in reproduction that women refuse, such as abortion, abandonment of newborns or being treated as the better parent based entirely on their sex.
Until 1920, the most important right that women failed to enjoy was the right to vote. Today it is not equal *rights* that women lack, it's equal *responsibility* for the rights they have.

Answer 4

Look up the following women: Elisabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Margaret Thatcher, Boadicea, Elizabeth 1, Catherine the Great, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary of Magdalene, Isadore Duncan, Katherine Hepburn, Harper Lee. There are many, many more women although marginalized have still managed to make a mark on humanity with valour and strength.

Answer 5

a. intelligent women do their own research
b. define strong and then search for women with that quality
c. most of those who have been in the fight for their rights have been able to spell which reflects the need for education.

Best wishes for your work, I am sure it will be well done by you!!
