Eugenie Clark has obviously impacted the world. But how? It was not because she did what she was told. Though she did follow the rules, she also broke rules such as having to stay at home and cook as a woman. Or hating sharks, just as the rest of the world did. She surpassed the known stereotypes, she lead people to think more highly of sharks, to realize their full potential. She lead people to love marine biology by creating the idea of a foundation for not only research, but exhibits and information about sealife for the public. She became an impactful leader.
