The best quotes for women, by women.
By Danielle Vickers — Written on Dec 08, 2019
A strong woman is a female who radiates confidence, and is unapologetically herself.
Throughout history and in today’s day in age there are so many women to admire — for example Susan B. Anthony, who fought endlessly for the women’s right to vote. Tina Fey, — the first female to be a head writer on Saturday Night Live (SNL). Or, Hillary Clinton who was the first female candidate to run for president in an assigned party.
It could even be the everyday modern woman you admire. There are strong women who surround us every day, like our mothers, sisters and best friends, who are the perfect example of admirable women.
If we look at women who are powerful and engaging, we see that these ladies are true to themselves and never let anyone walk over them — they stand their ground. Being unapologetically yourself and being a badass woman is all about being yourself, so own what you stand for and be who you want to be.
Let yourself be who you want to be, raise your confidence. Get to know yourself so you can set your goals, surround yourself with people who are going to want the best for you, know your worth, and be the person you strive to be.
As Beyonce’s says “Who run the world? Girls!"
