12 Women Who Were "Number One" And Changed The World In Different Areas
Those times in which it was very difficult for women to reach positions from which they can change the world and write their names into history are over. In all areas of life, women have earned their place by means of intelligence, grace, discipline, and excellence. With this list, we pay homage to women who have changed the world and are true leaders in their chosen fields.
These are the 12 women who are currently "number one" in what they do and have changed the modern world:
1. Cindy Sherman
New friend
The first woman to sell one of her photographs for over a million dollars. This artist has put herself at the top of this amazing art form which tells stories with every image.
2. Rita Moreno
She’s the first Latin woman to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and A Tony award. Unbelievable!
3.Eileen Collins
Astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a Space Shuttle mission, was captured backstage in the 2016 @gopconvention Instagram Portrait Studio after delivering her incredible speech. Collins logged over 537 hours in space during her tenure at NASA! ????

4. Selena Gomez
Sometimes it’s incredibly difficult to wake up every day knowing there is so much going on in the world. At times I feel selfish, I ask why, I ask how can this change? Will it actually ever change? I try to contribute my heart before anything because it can be so easy to lose the desire to have hope when sometimes all I want to be is angry. When I read about the beautiful women who wake up consciously every day to make a change, it inspires me to want to do so much more. Not really sure how I got so lucky @time but thank you for highlighting the power of what we can and will always strive to be. I believe in the goodness in the land of the living. I hope this is just the beginning of more change.
This lady is the woman with the most followers on Instagram and is the voice of a generation.
5. Hillary Clinton
@VogueMagazine in its first-ever presidential endorsement: "Her fierce intelligence and considerable experience are reflected in policies and positions that are clear, sound, and hopeful. She supports comprehensive immigration reform, including a path to citizenship. She speaks up for racial justice, for reforming policing and sentencing laws. Her years as Secretary of State have shown that she understands how to strengthen alliances abroad, respond to global crises, and continue American leadership in the world. She is forceful in her support for LGBTQ rights, including an end to discrimination against transgender people. She knows the challenges working women face. Her tax proposals and commitment to infrastructure investment will be a boon to the middle class. She will continue the important work on health-care reform begun by President Obama. She is a sane voice on guns. Can Clinton unify a deeply divided America? Heal the wounds of this unbearably fraught political season? Our divisions are real, and it will take more than one intensely qualified leader to heal them. And yet two words give us hope: Madam President."
She was the first woman to run as a presidential candidate in the USA.
