Audrey Hepburn: Glasses and All Throughout history, women have influenced society and as a result enriched the lives of females today. Because of the suppression of women and their talents in the past, accomplishments that have been achieved by these spectacular women are truly extraordinary. If it were not for these women who stepped forward to make a difference, society today may be extremely different. Audrey Hepburn is one of the most influential women of her time and of society thereafter. Her many successes are unique and are a staple in the way that young ladies live their lives today. Her contributions will never be forgotten and will certainly be repeated again as the years go on. In the time of the great William Shakespeare, as in the essay “Shakespeare’s Sister” by Virginia Woolfe, women were simply taught to hold their tongue and were thought to have no ideas of their own to put onto paper. As Woolfe addressed, women were not prompted to write, speak often, or even think for themselves. Today, one would think that these actions would be atrocious. Feminism has grown into a large movement that was once inconceivable by Shakespeare’s peers. Women can do a larger variety of things on their own today than in his time including, reading and writing published works, being in the media, holding a place in society, and make a difference in the world on their own accord. Women are not the weak creatures that society once thought, but are strong and should be held to a high standard as they are the one and only thing that God created not using dirt. Audrey Hepburn, born Audrey Kathleen Ruston, is one of the most prominent leading ladies to make a large impact on our society. She was born in Belgium as an only child and soon became a proficient ballerina, secretly dancing for money for the Dutch resistance. This was something she may not have completely gotten away with in an earlier time
