International Women's Day

"There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish"

 - Michelle Obama


Why I think it is important, now that is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately. Women have achieved a lot over history from the right to vote in 1928 to even right now where women are demanding a voice of the change in law with regards to abortion in varying part of the world. I take being a woman as a symbol of power, a symbol of strength and a symbol of unity. 

I love being a woman and I wouldn't change it for the world. 

There are many women who inspire me, mostly from modern day but a few from History. Emma Watson inspires me for speaking up in the UN. Adele inspires me for not changing who she is to her very core. Demi Lovato inspires me for trying be to her authentic self. Our late Queen inspired me with her keep carrying on attitude, even when times were tough. Ada Lovelace inspires me with her passion and determination to achieve in times where women scarcely did. Mary Shelley inspires me with her love for writing and creating Frankenstein. Now these are women I have never met, and some I never will, but they all have an impact on me and I am forever grateful. 

Taking a more personal tone, my great grandmother inspires me- she lived through the second world war and I am lucky enough to remember her and to have created memories with her. My best friends inspire me, going through trials and tribulations and still pushing through and striving for more. My nan inspires me, being able to live a life after losing someone so close to you whom you had spend decades with. I inspire me, I push through and work hard and never give up. I have achieved things I did not know I was capable of. 


My mum is my inspiration, living with a disability and not letting it stop her. Living each day in the pain she is in but hardly complaining, getting on with it, doing more than she should because she wants to. 

Those are my inspirational women from historical to personal, who are your inspirational women?
