What well-known female celebrity has revolutionized the roles/expectations of women in the 2000s?

Question

What famous female celebrity has contributed to revolutionizing the role of women, and what have they done?

Answer 1

I would prefer seeing women who actually accomplished what they did without using s*x or their looks to do it being mentioned. Oprah Winfrey and Condoleezza Rice did not use s*x or their looks. Madonna and Britney Spears did.

Yes, I am for real and I'm not a dude. Britney Spears used and exploited her jailbait image. Madonna has used s*x and religion throughout her career. She generates controversy to attract attention to herself. How exactly have those two revolutionized the role of women? I think they have actually set back the progress of other women who are trying to make it in music without using s*x or their own attractiveness to get ahead.

Answer 2

Maya Angelou

Answer 3

Oprah - She's an inspiring woman

To the person above, you need to get out dude! Are you for real??

Answer 4

Revolutionizing it for the better:  I'd have to say Oprah.  She's loaded, successful, and she never saw the point in getting married or having kids, but she's done a ton for people all over the world.  People treated her like c**p on her way up, but she persevered.  

Revolutionizing it for the worse:  Britney, Paris, Lindsey and all those other s****s.  They've turned an entire generation into materialistic s****s who think that looks, boozing, and shopping are more important that intelligence, self-reliance, and decency.

Answer 5

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Answer 6

What about Madonna?

Seriously, think about it.

Answer 7

i think oprah is the best answer, but it might be a very common answer (brought international problems to light - especially treatment of girls in africa, first female billionaire, unmarried but committed, also a woman of color, thinks literacy and fashion are both interesting, etc).  other notable women include angelina jolie (wild when young, award winning actress, beautiful woman, loads of adopted and biological kids, humanitarian), ellen (wildly popular daytime show, in the 90s revolutionized sitcom, g*y, hosts award shows, funny woman who doesn't objectify her body), or martha stewart (always viewed as typical "homemaker" but then she went to jail, very rich, has all kinds of media, shows that even "good women go bad" but is still very powerful).

Answer 8

Amy Winehouse.

It's proof that women don't need to be held to the same moral expectations as men.

When she brags about beating up her husband & some women think it's "cool" or "empowering" it proves just how sad our society has become.
