Exactly 4 hours after her husband was brutally assisinated, Jackie Kennedy stood next to Vice Pres. Lyndon Johnson on Air Force One in her blood stained Chanel suit. It was just hours after she had screamed the words, "I've got his brains in my hands", to a member of the Secret Service and the widow was taking into event how her husband was being replaced as President of the United States. A photograph taken during the even where Johnson was being sworn in, shows Jackie as a grieving widow. Shock impaling her face, fear draining the blood, and anger gripping her tight. Important of all, she stood next to Johnson, hours after her husband had been shot dead infront of her. Superwoman? Yes.
Mother Teresa gave up a life to devote herself to the poor. She became a nun, stripped herself of all materialistic posessions and took a vow to God under his oath that she would work for him and the greater good. Winning awards and Nobel Peace Prizes she gave the money to the poor, stating that she was already a completed human being. Superwoman? I think so.
After Anne Boleyn was beheaded in the Tower of London, her daughter Elizabeth I vowed to never get married and make the same mistake as her mother did. Instead she decided to marry her country. Under the rule of Elizabeth I, England had what is now referred to as The Golden Age. Defeating the Spanish Armada and the Church of England during her reign as Queen of England, Elizabeth proved to be a worthy opponent to any country and stood for what she believed in. Monarchy never bloomed as much as it did when Elizabeth ruled. Her iron fist kept England on its toes. Superwoman? Damm right!
The Good Wifes. Hilary Clinton, Natasha Sutherland and Amor Vittone. After their husbands were slandered by the press and were accused for whoring around, who stood around by their side, believing them rather than the tsunami of evidence against their husbands? They did. Despite the fact that they all left their husbands, they had the strength and courage to try and fight for their marriges, and new when they reached their limits. It takes a great woman to stick by her husbands side after such a scandal, leave and pick up the pieces. Superwoman. Of course!
Standing for her political party, Helen Zille may be feared by many, but this "racist white girl" is the only one with guts to silence Julius Malema. After pointless attempts to make her off as a witch, this steel magnolia still stands proud as a respected politician who was voted as World Mayor. Superwoman? Guess you already know the answer.
So. This is not a myth. Its not a comic. Superwoman are amongst us and they are famed in the anals of history. Try keeping your eye open for that blue and red cape the next time you driving somewhere. Superwoman? Could be ;-)
