Joanna Coles has worked her way up the ladder of success. She's the former Editor and Chief of Marie Claire and the current Editor and Chief of Cosmopolitan. Coles has been known to make bold moves to empower women through the articles in Cosmopolitan, and see the changes happening in society. Coles still can't believe that there aren't more women in charge in the business world. In media and advertisements, women are still portrayed as "orgasmic over cleaning products... or with a Swiffer, as if it's the most exciting thing that's ever happened" (Coles). Instead of being portrayed as successful, empowered and having equal opportunity as men, women are sexualized and used for their appearance, regardless of their resume.
