The Oprah Winfrey biography is certainly one that tells a tale of hardship and perseverance. Long before the Oprah Winfrey Show and the Oprah Winfrey Network was a woman who survived a rough childhood.

Oprah Winfrey was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth. In fact, Oprah Winfrey childhood began in poverty in Mississippi. By the age of 9 she was sexually abused and raped. By the age of 14 she had become pregnant only to lose her son during infancy. Oprah Winfrey used what she had which was her natural intelligence in order to get a scholarship which helped her escape the ghetto Milwaukee suburb. She was accepted into a more academically rigorous high school school within the suburbs. She then received a scholarship into Tennessee State University, a historically black institution. Oprah studied communications, sending her on a path towards her success today.

The Oprah Winfrey biography is truly an inspirational tale of how an individual can overcome great odds, only to achieve international fame, wealth and success.

Hopefully, the Oprah Winfrey biography will prove that it's possible for a person to reach their potential, despite great odds.
