feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
The Celebration of Women
The celebration and encouragement of womanhood have increasingly grown in the modern world. There are organizations, groups, and charities that help encourage women to be the best they can be and genuinely know their worth. For younger girls in middle school, high school, and college, it's vital for these younger ladies to see a woman being celebrated and shown they can do whatever they put their mind to do, women can do anything. There are organizations out there that represent women all around the world. In Her shoe Movement is an International organization all about women empowerment. As for a global organization, Her Campus magazine is all about catering to the needs of women and celebrating womanhood.

I Am My Sister's Keeper
When women come together and help each other NOTHING could stand in their way. They are an absolute force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately women have been taught to see each other as a sort of competition. They've been taught it's more acceptable to tear a woman down than to build her up. For centuries women have proven that they are nothing if not strong. They have also proven that they are stronger united. So why is it that a woman's first instinct is to tear down a woman? I believe this comes from decades and decades of men forcing us to behave in a more "civilized" manner. Men knew that when women came together their power has no limit, and this power scared the men. Therefore the men had to separate and reprogram women. As long as the men did this the women were controllable, docile even.

Feminism: Still a Force for Good?
Women have come a long way since the very first Suffragettes fought for our right to vote and the movement has evolved greatly from its original purpose. Yet the core of it remains the same: it is the fight for equality of the sexes. But as feminism has grown and widened its reach across the globe, has its very essence been diluted and, as a result, is it still a force for good?

Spirit of Hope
Dear you, The sun is shining today and the wind is filled with a tinge of flourishing smell. It's spring! I remembered you used to play guessing game "Which season do you love most?" and your answer always was "winter". You said that because in a tropical country like Thailand, there is actually no such thing as winter.

As a strong woman I look up to other strong women who inspire me. My whole life I have been searching for a female role model who represented my rebellious and adventurous spirit and I finally found her. A woman who is both feminine, brave, strong and resilient, who doesn't fit in the boxes that society has created. saw myself through her spirit in life - Gertrude Bell.

The Blueprint - Women Who Inspire
My mind was like "wait, is this just one woman, because then this just got a lot more difficult." When my mind heard about a competition that involved women who inspire, it immediately started sprinting through all of the women in my life. Then, it started to sift through the women that might allow me to win this competition; "who is the woman that no judge could ever deny?" it said.

Women are fighters. Today women are fighters and historically we have been fighters because we have had to be. Women of today don't have to fight for the same rights and freedoms that women before us did because of the inspirational and innovative actions of the brave women of history.

Dear women
It makes me happy to write about Women who inspire, for days I’ve thought about it and it really made me pay attention to all the women I know including celebrities. I heard so many stories about great women, I’ve seen them happening, but I wanted to find out what are the qualities that make a woman be inspiring. Inspiring could be anything, even just a word at the right time. Sometimes it’s hard to listen to someone and empathize when you don’t know their whole story, and it’s the story that makes you inspired. You want to hear about all the struggles, all the barriers that she had to face, the accomplishments and moments of glory. But are those moments that we don’t often hear about, those secrets women had to keep quiet, and those tears that they had to swallow, that I really find inspiring.

Princesses Against The Patriarchy
Women are the strongest creatures on the planet. From giving birth to the world, to risking their lives fighting for equal rights, women are the backbone of this fragile world that we live in. Women aren't just these soft and nurturing creatures. Women are also warriors, strong and battle ready, in the military, classrooms and boardrooms, and even in homes raising families. From Eartha Kit to Malala Yousafzai and all the amazing women in between there is so much to be inspired by.
