These empowering quotes by women for women are simply curated to inspire our women to continue on the path of greatness. You deserve a lot of accolades as a woman.
Every day is not enough to celebrate our women. International women’s day started decades back as a protest. Our women are still protesting. They must be supported to face challenges. Feminism, body-positive, sisterhood, superwoman, independent woman, gender equality, etc- are words that can only scare insecure men and women alike.
I understand them to be all about female empowerment. They simply inspire understanding, healthy self-esteem, and the promotion of positive mindsets. They encourage women to embrace new thinking towards becoming their best and the best for society at large. While giving Oprah a medal of honor, Barack Obama said of her,
In more than 4500 episodes of her show, her message was always: You can – you can do, you can be, you can grow and you can be better.

4. Remain a woman of passion and commitment
A seasoned woman is spicy. She has been marinated in life experiences. Like a complex wine, she can be alternately sweet, tart, sparkling, mellow. She is both maternal and playful.
