30 Strong Women Quotes to Celebrate Feminine Power

For decades,
women have fought for the right to vote, for political, professional and social
equality. It’s been a long fight with great outcomes, but it isn’t over yet.

Women still protest against centuries-worth of cultural norms and heritage that disadvantage them. In many countries little girls are still taught that their only goal in life in to become a good wife and mother. They still grow up with the belief that they are weak, that they shouldn’t speak up and that ambition is only for men.

Women have come a
long way and while, professionally speaking, we can get any job we want, we
still have to deal with people’s beliefs that have been instilled inside their
brains for centuries.

However, until we
can make people unlearn every irrational assumptions, we must remind ourselves
that we are strong. Nowadays, women are capable of having a full time job, raise
children, and keep up with some impossible beauty standards that society
dictates.

The ladies have now
more responsibilities than ever and still find ways to meet each and every one
of them -- and this is pure strength.
