You can’t possibly list influential women and not have Oprah on it! Dubbed the “Queen of All Media,” she was the richest African-American of the 20th century, was once the world’s only black billionaire and the greatest black philanthropist in U.S. history. By 2007, she was often ranked as the most influential woman in the world.

Oprah Says NO "O"
From the Hollywood Insider, a podcaster producing a podcast, about Oprah, is using her trademark O logo, without the stars permission:
Harpo Inc., which owns her trademarks, carefully vets any licensing opportunity. Now it’s taking a podcasting duo to court over their Oprahdemics podcast.
Harpo, Oprah's company (also Oprah, backwards) as you see does not want money. Also, the suit does not ask for control of the show's content. Orpah reportedly doesn't mind mind if the show talks about her. Winfrey's main beef? Using her logo misleads the public, alluding that she is involved with the podcast.
