Gloria Estefan (given name-Gloria Fajardo) was born on September 1, 1957 in Havana, Cuba. She was raised in the United States upon fleeing Cuba with her family as a toddler at the time Fidel Castro came into power (Editors, 2015). During her childhood, Gloria enjoyed writing poetry and took classical guitar lessons, but found them boring. Not long after, her father came home from Vietnam and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after being exposed to the chemical Agent Orange (Editors, 2015).

When the Roman Empire collapsed, Gothicism was born. While Gothic art was first characterized as Romanesque art, Gothic art soon came to be its own form of art and era during the Middle Ages. Gothic art was a new combination of sculpture, painting, architecture and art. In its truest form, Gothicism is illustrated in Lippo Vanni’s 1343 painting “Madonna and Child Enthroned.” Vanni’s work is a symbol of the transitioning time period between the Greco-Roman times and the rejuvenation of the art world.

How about working in an airplane factory, aiding in the war effort? Marlin got her start as a model for David Conover, who worked as an army photographer for the 1st motion picture unit.

She showed that women could be anything they want, in the process influencing future musicians for decades to come. Although Madonna was born into a religious, Catholic family, it would be only a few years before Madonna would explicitly act against her family’s Catholic beliefs, by using the Church as a centerpiece in her videos as a means to fight sexism and racism and to promote women’s sexual freedom.

Instead of making him feel normal he had that warm blanket sensation that strong opiates give you. His nose itched but he felt like he was in heaven. Not even Madonna or some dead teenage girl could ruin his night.
