Oprah Winfrey
The mogul and former talk show host revealed that during The Oprah Winfrey Show days, she had to fight for the salaries of the women she worked with, and she had to throw around some threats to one particular male boss to get them deserved raises.
“He actually said to me, ‘They’re only girls. They’re a bunch of girls. What do they need more money for?'” she recounted. “I go, ‘Well, either they’re gonna get raises or I’m gonna sit down. I will not work unless they get paid.’ And so they did.”
