#BarbaraWalters, a barrier shattering female journalist, has passed away.
She is probably best known for her headlining the news show 20/20 but before she was sidelined to a TV gig and handed fluff pieces Barbara was an amazing journalist that wasn't afraid to go and get her own stories.
Many female journos today will credit Barbara Walters as an inspiration.
