Princess Diana

Throughout the years since her tragic death, Diana the Princess of Wales has been a constant media source and hot topic. I am here to argue that she was and is an inspiration to women today. Although she was trapped in a loveless marriage to Prince Charles during her life, she never let that dull her sparkle. Diana went head to head with the royal family, and never followed the rules because she wanted her story to be heard. To take on the "Royal Family" took a lot of courage and bravery. She never let the pain she was feeling define her in the public eye. I think that is an important lesson today, especially when bullying is a serious epidemic. It can give young adolescent females a sense of hope, she did not give up and so neither should they.The princess never stopped living her life to the fullest after her separation from Prince Charles. She devoted her life to charity work, to help those in need. The British people still regard her as an important part in their History, she was known as the people's princess. Her death is still a heartbreaking tragedy to many. While the details of her death constantly will remain a mystery and a conspiracy theory, she will forever be in the peoples hearts as a hero. She helped pave the way for women to speak out and stand up for what they believe in. Princess Di did not let her controlling marriage keep her from achieving her life goals. She will forever be an inspiration to myself and many other woman!

Throughout the course of History women have played a large role in the world we know now today. Many people will say that it's a "Man's World", but we have come very far from that assumption. My blog will focus on the women who have changed the course of History or who should be an inspiration to women and girls today. It will not focus on the reality tv stars, or the celebrities who do not do anything to benefit others, it will focus on the real women. These are the women who stood up and made a change, who work to help those less fortunate, and those who did not let living in a "Man's World" define who they wanted to be. Some of their stories may be tragic and have some sad endings, while others may have gotten their happy ending, but had it not been for any of them the world would not be the same. Each week I plan on posting a story about one of these special women, and what they did to change the world.
