Urmila Solanki
When you get old and start knowing and getting acquainted with the world, your mom is not the only inspirational woman of your life. You must have always heard that behind every successful man, there is a woman. Let me tell you how exactly it is.
2. Marilyn Monroe
If someone has utilized her celebrity status perfectly, it is Princess Diana. She is indeed an inspirational example of how having everything for yourself is not the end of the purpose of your life. Instead, she made her marriage into the royal family a beginning and helped destitutes and needy in whatever way she could.
Please know that a woman is not only the reason of a successful man, but a successful society. As Obiageli Ezekwesili says, “A society that will not honor its women, is a society that will be lost in the woods, for a long time.” Nothing truer has been said yet.
There are 10 women, whose efforts, thoughts, and outlook changed the world they lived in forever.
1. Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
Selflessness and charity personified, Mother Teresa was a nun who devoted her life in the service of the wretched and the poor. She received a noble prize in 1979.
Famous saying: “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
2. Marilyn Monroe
If Mother Teresa was selflessness personified, Marilyn Monroe was the beauty personified. Her real name was Norma Jean Baker, and she was one of those rare women who very successfully attracted all the eyes and spotlights on herself, snatching all the attention from the male actors due to her extremely good looks and extraordinary acting skills.
Famous saying: “Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”
3. Princess Diana
If someone has utilized her celebrity status perfectly, it is Princess Diana. She is indeed an inspirational example of how having everything for yourself is not the end of the purpose of your life. Instead, she made her marriage into the royal family a beginning and helped destitutes and needy in whatever way she could.
Famous saying: “Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”
4. Marie Curie
She is the first woman to win a noble prize and the only woman to win it twice for her exceptional research in radioactivity. She was both, a physicist and a chemist, whose theory of radioactivity changed a lot in the study of Chemistry.

5. Florence Nightingale

6. Malala Yousufzai

Her experiences under Taliban occupancy moved the world and the global attention that her distress got, proved to be fatal for her as Taliban tried murdering her.
