― Gloria Steinem, Marilyn
I think Marilyn was a product of her times, but toward the end of her life she really fought to be taken seriously and wanted to play more substantial roles. And even in the "dumb blonde" movies Hollywood kept typecasting her in, her comedic timing was excellent. A lot of people forget that.
She was an avid reader and tried to make up for a lot she didn't know (she was a high school drop-out). She bravely battled the Studio System of Hollywood and fought to be something much more than what they wanted. I admire her for that. She missed out on feminism, and like Gloria Steinem said, it probably would have saved her life.
