Even if you don’t realize it, you have incredible strength and independence as a woman.
Although we still have a long way to go, women have more control today than ever before over their careers, bodies, finances, and lifestyles.
Women are capable of supporting themselves and their families and are breaking old stereotypes of traditional female roles.
Gender discrimination still exists, but 53% more independent women are participating in the workforce than fifty years ago, giving women a louder voice in society.
But how do these changes for women apply to you personally?
Maybe you pride yourself on your self-confidence and don’t need to rely on society or a partner for validation.
Perhaps you see your strength in developing healthy relationships with other people without resorting to co-dependent patterns.
You may feel empowered by joining a cause like the #MeToo Movement, increasing awareness about sexual harassment and assault.
With the power of social media, this movement reached 85 countries worldwide to bring women together with a common struggle that is faced, but often not talked about.
Today in politics and culture, more and more women are taking a stand and fighting back for the equal power that they deserve.
Do you feel like a strong, independent woman? What does it mean to be one?
