Inspirational women
Whether from the world of politics, music, literature, sport, or business, we all have inspirational figures we look up to. Here are some women that inspired us
Hillary Clinton
Having enjoyed a stint in The White House as First Lady, Clinton came within a whisker of changing the course of history by becoming the first female President of the United States.
An iconic figure in American politics for many years, the Yale graduate has never been afraid to swim against the tide. She was fiercely opposed to the Vietnam War and a champion of the civil rights movement during her formative years in politics.
She broke the mould as First Lady by influencing policy making, not to mention being the first President's wife to hold a post-graduate degree.
But her most symbolic act was her insistence not only to do away with the tradition of the First Lady taking up residence in the East Wing of the White House but to set up her own working office in the West Wing.
