Arianna Huffington: The Fearless Woman Everyone’s Talking About
No one likes to be told “no” or face failure, yet everyone has and Arianna Huffington is no exception. Sure she’s the “queen of the blogosphere,” a best-selling author and sought-after pundit by the Anderson Coopers of the world. But how did the Greek media mogul go from heartbreak and losing California’s gubernatorial race to Arnold Schwarzenegger to spearheading the leading political blogging website, The HuffingtonPost.com, and becoming one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People?
Savvy Miss caught up with Arianna to talk about her journey, life’s ups and downs and her views on becoming fearless.
Savvy Miss: What inspired you to get into media and politics?
Arianna Huffington: I’ve always been engaged by the issues of the day and loved the magic of people’s minds moved—and their opinions changed—by the power of words. So writing, public speaking and politics were a logical extension of that passion. The journey has been challenging—and incredibly satisfying and fulfilling.

| I definitely agree that women need to be more informed about the war in Iraq, especially with more women fighting overseas. War has always been viewed as a "manly" area and it's time for that to change. | |

| wow. i love the quote, "fearlessness isn't the absence of fear-it's the mastery of fear." that's so powerful! | |

| It bothers me that some say women only like soft "People Magazine" news. Men read car magazines and Maxim, but that doesn't mean that's what they only like. Why is it that women get pigeonholed and men don't? I agree with Arianna. There is a caricature of all women as "Today Show" enthusiasts. | |

| Great article! It is so true that we're still dealing with the same fears past generations were. Let's hope the next generation can move beyond them. | |
