Heroes:
Wilma Mankiller - the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation. She not's only involved in tribal issues, but she's also focused on addressing international women’s rights, as well as commonly held stereotypes and the role of Native American women in their communities. She stresses the need for women in leadership roles, and I think she's really helping to redefine feminism. Also, Angelina Jolie - she can be described in a lot of ways by a lot of different eople, but, in my opinion, she most remarkably is an example of a public figure who chooses to use her success and fame to help others, raise awareness of important world issues, and actually attempt to make a real difference. There are very few public figures - especially celebrities - who can realistically claim to do the same.

Which Greek Goddess are you?
You are a Water Nymph!
Whether it's in thunderstorms, or swimming in rivers or the ocean, you love it. You probably have a great connection with society or your friends, and are a loving, helpful, and most of all, BEAUTIFUL creature.
Your gorgeous and exotic face is complemented by your powerfully feminine body. Your beauty has the power to both bring tranquility or take men to the depths of madness.
Just as the ocean can be calm and breathtaking, your talents are unique and are a blessing to those around you. But sometimes the ocean is dark, myserious, or stormy, which also reflect your emotions.
Role-
They were depicted as beautiful maidens, often riding on the backs of Hippokampoi (Fish-tailed horses), Ketoi (Sea-monsters) or dolphins.
Symbols-
Water (naw, really?!), seashells, nymphs, helpers of Poseidon.
Story-
There are several different types of Nymphs in Greek Mythology, but they are usually helpers and assistants to the gods. Nymphs had the divine power of changing the shape of things, and were agressive yet highly skilled lovers. Nymphs are always with their companions (which is why you are so social) and were kind to sailors in trouble (which is why you are so nice.)
