Can you guys give me a name and article of a women whose succeeding in business, sports, politics, etc and doing something few women have done before and is opening doors for other women. (someone whose succeding on a large scale, sp please don't say me or my coustin or anything like that, io need someone i can find articles on and info about).Thanks. So far I’m thinking of using hilary Clinton in my report, but I’m hoping of finding someone less obvious and cliched to do it on. I want it to be in the present, not something from 10 years ago. Thanks in advance if you can help. =)

Look around and take your pick. I paint on construction sites. No articles, I am glad. Women are everywhere trying to make a living in male dominated surroundings. It a challenge.
Note: There are very open-minded males to this as well as dinosaur philosophies. The number of women dealing with this is uncountable.

You could consider sports news to be a male dominated business, so how about Linda Cohn from ESPN SportsCenter or Suzyn Waldman, who's the full time color commentator for the New York Yankees?

It may seem a bit cliche'...but Oprah Winfrey. She has certainly made a significant mark for women everywhere. She is a major player in her own field and influencial in others. Whenever she displays opinions or issues from her show there seems to be a wide-spread ripple effect-I mean on anything from food choices to clothing trends to who's the next big thing. Have you noticed that when people want to really publicize a product, movie or person they go on "Oprah?" You can just consider it...

Wow - there are so many right now...
But the first person who comes to mind is Suze Orman.
It is really amazing for a woman to have the final word in personal finances in America...
(considering that many women in America - like my grandmother - never got to handle a checkbook until their husbands died)

What do you mean, "male dominated"?
I take it to mean women just aren't really interested in those kinds of jobs, because it's not an area of expertise for them.
Just because there's an "underrepresentation" of females in a given field doesn't mean there's discrimination. People generally tend to have jobs in fields that they excel in. Men tend to be better leaders in general. No shame in that! Men tend to be better at mechanical stuff, so of course auto mechanics is going to be "male-dominated."
I wish the gender police would stop insisting on 50-50 representation in everything. There are things women are naturally better at, and things men are naturally better at.

Condoleezza Rice is a very accomplished woman. Not only is she a woman, but she's also black. She speaks several languages, has a superior education, and has been successful in politics. Good for her.
