What is a strong Woman…?
“Strong woman” is only a term that is coming into its own recently due to various stigma’s, challenges and labels.
Strong women are all around us, all the time; and not anomalies. I'd guess they never really were so unusual; after all, consider women's status in Ancient Egypt and many parts around the world. Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Lakshmibai, Margaret Thatcher, Florence Nightingale, Mother Theresa, Rosa Parks, Wangari Maathai, Pam Golding and many more in modern times too.
When asking my girls what they consider a strong woman to be … they immediately identified traits like, leadership, compassion, commitment, understanding, being kind and confident.
I think a lesson to share is that Strength does not always accompany Power (Physically or Mentally). Strength lies within and must produce happiness and contentment in whatever it is that drives you. Don’t give up on any dreams and fight for what one believes in, but above all, stay true to yourself.
Happy Woman’s Month to every woman in our World, despite race, religion, culture or accomplishments.
