Marilyn Monroe, was an amazing women she had brains and beauty. Most people believed that Marilyn was a stupid woman getting by on just her looks, but I know that she was so much more than that. Marilyn was a very smart woman and not many people got to see or know that Marilyn. She was a woman who women hated and men loved and as a woman I can say that other women are our biggest critics. Marilyn is my idol she was everything I strive to be as a woman struggling in a society where men still believe they are superior. Now I know you must be thinking we have past that era in time were men thought they had control over women or more say than women but I know that to be false. Men still feel in some way superior over women, and do not get me wrong I know it is not all men but most men. As a women of independance I say this because I have men showing me this side of todays society all the time. Marilyn was like a light in a dark room, she shined. She wanted to show the world who she was and that she had spark, but she let the men think they were superior all though she was much smarter than them by a long shot, she knew what she was doing and how to get what she wanted. Marilyn became a world wide icon, she was something no one had ever seen before, she was a bombshell who was not afraid to be sexy, she embraced her sexiness and her curvy body but she did it with class. I want to someday be able to say that I accomplished all that I wanted to on my own with no help from anyone, I want to be remembered for being smart and witty and having no fear of how others saw me , I want people to say I embraced who I was as a woman. My point here is that a lot of people see Marilyn as nothing more than a sex symbol , and I know this is because she was sexy and beautiful and men drooled over her, but she in fact was so much more than that. Marilyn’s quotes are so inspiring for women, I believe every girl should be informed about who she was not just about how she looked in a photo because I think if more women had the confidence and spark Marilyn had women would finally make men feel that we are not just pretty to look at but we are nice to listen to. So for all the women reading this, find your inner Marilyn and embrace her, embrace yourself, be independant, be you and remeber smile because there is so much to smile about !
