Make statements with your actions and your voice.

In the modern era I think the term feminist is played out and old school. However, I feel there is still a need for strong independent women who can beat men at their own game; enter Tina Fey.

Tina Fey is one of the most talented funny people of all time, man or woman. She made a true name for herself as a key player and writer on SNL but even before that at Second City Improv and in college she was honing and defining her comedic chops. Most people know her now for her perfect impersonation of Sarah Palin during the '08 election, her frequent movie roles, and most currently writing and staring in one of the best comedies to ever be produced "30 Rock".

The thing I love about Tina Fey is she has not succumbed to the pressures and stereotypes of Hollywood. She has done smart comedy, kept her integrity intact and proven that women can have control and steer the ship. She admittedly states she is not the thinnest, most beautiful actress out there but her work will last for a long time where the other million pretty faces will fade, wrinkle and be forgotten.

This biography is just as witty as you would expect with the typical embarrassing stories of adolescence and love gone wrong but it also has an underlining constant theme of power. Tina exudes confidence in that fact that she has every right to be where she is and knows that she deserves her spot among the big players in the entertainment industry.

Tina Fey, along with making us laugh, proves to girls that they can be the smart ones and succeed while still being feminine. We need more example like her in this world.



If you're still undecided (not sure why but okay) here are just a few excerpts to get you started;

“If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is: who cares?” 

“(My proudest moment as a child was the time I beat my uncle Pierre at Scrabble with the seven-letter word FARTING.)” 

“MAKE STATEMENTS also applies to us women: Speak in statements instead of apologetic questions. No one wants to go to a doctor who says, “I’m going to be your surgeon? I’m here to talk to you about your procedure? I was first in my class at Johns Hopkins, so?” Make statements, with your actions and your voice.”
