- Margaret Thatcher, first female prime minister of England
Margaret Hilda Roberts Thatcher (aka Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS, FRIC), born 1925, was a British stateswoman who served not only as the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom but also the longest-serving British PM of the 20th century. And this was after she bet against herself (and every other woman) in 1969, predicting that βno womanβ would become Prime Minister during Thatcherβs own lifetime. Her prediction missed the mark just like these 12 other historical predictions that completely missed the mark.

- Oprah Winfrey, first woman to own and produce her own TV talk show
Oprah Winfrey wasnβt comfortable in her role as a TV news anchorwoman from ages 19 through 24, and her empathy with her interviewees earned her criticism, rather than accolades from her bosses. It wasnβt until she was given the opportunity to host her own talk show that Winfrey began to feel comfortable in her own skin. βIβve found my home,β she remarked to Time. Her own talk show debuted in 1986, and Winfrey is now considered one of the most influential women on television.
