#34. J.K. Rowling, 40
You thought we forgot to update today, didn't you? Well, that would never happen because we're dedicated to providing you with the best the world of 40 plus women has to offer. Anyhow, we love a good rags to riches story and J.K. Rowling is the Cinderella to beat out all the other princesses. We just can't get over how she wrote her story on napkins in the coffeehouse, only ordering black coffee every hour so that they wouldn't kick her and her infant child out. Somehow, during the course of time, that story got greatly exaggerated from its original which was probably that she wrote in an empty coffeehouse where the manager was her close friend and frequent babysitter. With simply a flick of a wand and the donning of some sexy, sexy glasses, she's got us entranced. For putting us under her spell, both literally and figuratively, she gets the #34 spot.
