The names of Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry and Condolezza Rice are immediately recognizable by almost all Americans across the US. These famous African American women are the most recent figures among the list of the most notable Black women in U.S. history. Below is a brief list of these famous African American women.
Who was the first Oprah?
Before Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart came Sarah Breedlove, a.k.a. as Madam C.J. Walker, the pioneer of female entrepreneurship in America. This article is a short narrative about the life of Madam Walker, who, out of sheer determination, rose from poverty to become a self-made millionaire. She started out as a domestic worker, established a small business of hair growers until she built an empire in the cosmetic industry. Her keen understanding of the demands of her diverse class enabled her to strategize properly, and she was able to fill a lucrative void.
Controversial as she may be, National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice has become an icon in American politics. This narrative takes a close look at the life of Condi, from her educational career at Stanford University, to her political assignments in two Bush administrations. She has earned honor and respect through her determination, sharp mind, exceptional teaching skills and valuable contributions to America’s international relations. She epitomizes the strong-willed African-American woman, undaunted by the enormous responsibilities that lie on her shoulders.
