Norma Jeane Mortenson” (better known as Marylin Monroe. A woman with a turbulent past and a dark ending. A true #feminist although she didn’t like to be called one. In an interview, she once said “I am not a feminist! I do not believe the world can be run in compartments, but by the joint endeavors of men and women as equals.” A lot has changed since the ’50s but of course but we are still striving toward equality. Monroe in her day (and still) known as a sexsymbol surely carried her weight in the sexual liberation of women but she was way more than that... a driven bussinesswoman is one of those things. She established her own production house so she could play more serious roles in movies. Sadly addiction and depression took their toll and she left this world too soon. I wonder what she would have brought to the world if she had more time. But let’s not linger on sadness, so it like to end this text with one of her wise quotes: "Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything." ... never stop trying!!
