Strong as women, they can ascend to the throne, go to the scaffold for an idea, found their own business, start a war and lead regiments... They are hated by spiteful critics and respected by like-minded people, they are elevated to the rank of saints, novels are dedicated to them, legends are made about them. They themselves are legends. In search of female happiness, not everyone follows the beaten path. Our heroines sought it in self-expression: some - climbing high up the career ladder, others - influencing world politics or winning the love of millions of fans... Joan of Arc, Coco Chanel, Margaret Thatcher, Hillary Clinton, Mary Kay, Oprah Winfrey, Yoko Ono, Kate Middleton... They are not ideal, but they are real - both after hundreds of years and as our contemporaries.
