Serena Williams – Tennis Champion and Icon (USA)
Many of the women I’ve chosen to
appear in the Girls Can Do Anything
gallery of inspirational women, are not high profile. They are not especially
in the public eye, and some are not even famous at all. But Serena Williams is,
most definitely, smack bang in the middle of the public eye and rightly
so. I think it’s safe to say she’s an
icon of feminine power and physical prowess and probably, in fact, as close as
you can get to an actual goddess.
Six-times champion of the US Open,
seven-times winner at Wimbledon and with many other wins to her name in
singles, doubles and mixed doubles tennis, Serena Williams is a complete master
of her game and outstanding sportswoman. She is also a philanthropist and
supporter of disadvantaged young people in the states and abroad.
So if you’re looking
for a strong female to look up to… well, she’s the real deal.
