How did Jackie Joyner-Kersee impact society?

She was an Excellent athlete, winning medals in four different Olympic Games. She was an very good Basketball player in college (UCLA) and scored over 1000 points in her college career. She was voted Top Woman Collegiate Athlete for the last 25 years of the 20th century. She played fair ... in an era when athletes were taking performance enhancing drugs she stayed clean. There has never been any talk about her taking drugs. She is a true role model to those that aspire to be successful in Track and Field and in life in general.
