Jill Abramson is a force to be reckoned with, especially in the media world. As the first female editor of the New York Times, there have been rampant rumors about her being difficult to work with and a hard taskmaster. Still, in a male-dominated world, she's changing the way women are viewed. 

Her slight eccentricities, such as a subway token tattoo on her right shoulder and her obsessive dedication to New York, make her more relatable to the common woman.
