Those of you here do not know this, but I am a huge fan of the I Love Lucy show. Pluto is my home now.

That being said, I was recently watching episode 22 of the first season. In a scene at a drug store,

(for those of you who don't know, drug stores used to have a little soda shop and served diner food)

Ricky and Fred were sitting at the counter talking while I noticed the magazine stand behind them. On the rack, I happened to fixate on one magazine which appeared to be a Wonder Woman comic book. I looked it up and this was the particular issue in question.

69 years ago today (October 15, 1951) the first episode of I Love Lucy starring Lucille Ball was released.

It’s hard to argue that Lucille Ball left an immense impact the entertainment industry, and even current American culture as a whole. She was the first woman to head a television program, and she was brazen in her commentary about the societal norms and traditional gender roles at the time. Her show was an instant success and won over 25 awards, including 5 Emmy awards. She eventually became the first woman to own a major production studio.

It’s important to remember influential women like Lucille Ball, to not only remember what she did for the world, but to remember that it is possible to challenge these societal norms with media. Her legacy isn’t only encapsulated in what she did for the world, it is also in the inspiration she gave to others wishing to do the same.
