She is a unique role model because her rise to fame has nothing to do with traditional ideas of female success. She is not a woman who has supermodel good looks, she has no special artistic or athletic talent, she is not from a prestigious family, she didn’t graduate from an Ivy League school, she isn’t married to a CEO or a politician, and she never had
any special political affiliations or favors. Her rise to fame was solely because of her brains, wit, and wisdom.
