The influential female model in my life is Amelia Earhart. I favor her considering it was her story that impacted me in the manner of expounding on the things that women can do, which is truly anything they set their minds to.

On a regular basis, I never would choose to wear a skirt. But things weren’t always this way. Not until the world met Amelia Bloomer.…

    I think that Mary Wollstonecraft was most influential. I think this because she was one of the first women to take a stand for women rights. Not only did she stand up for women rights, she fought for equal education and equal treatment of all human beings. She really emphasized that men and women should get their education based on reason and not gender. She strongly believed that men should treat their wives as equals and not property. She also believed that women should be given an equal opportunity when they try to get a job. So overall, I feel like Mary was a very inspirational and influential woman.…
