Year in Review: Five Women on Top in Pop Culture
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyAt year's end we've got a rich crop of uppity women -- real and imagined -- who left their deep prints on popular culture in 2010.

He is, of course, the lean, tall, and pale 39-year-old Australian master hacker at the white-hot center of the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks and, after revealing thousands of secret Afghan battlefield reports this week, the subject of investigation by U.S. authorities.
