Women's History Month: 15 Women Who Changed Love And Sex Forever

Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is one of the most influential people in America—not bad for a woman born in rural Mississippi who endured poverty, abuse and teenage pregnancy. Since 1986, The Oprah Winfrey Show has explored various topics important to everyday viewers, including relationships, health and self-actualization. Oprah's encouraged us—and various celebrity guests—to appreciate our experiences, including heartbreak, and has given us the support to move on and live our best lives.
