Femininity

Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon on the steps on Bute House
Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon on the steps of Bute House


 I just read this article and it really struck a cord with me. Love the sentiment!

"To all women, young and old, my message is this: speak up, challenge attitudes and call out discrimination, celebrate our collective and individual achievements, inspire and encourage those around you."

I am not really a fan of either of these politicians but as Nicola Sturgeon so rightly says this is an image that all women and young girls should take to heart and use as inspiration.


"In the 21st century, femininity should be about the power of women to determine our own lives, to change society and to achieve our dreams, whether we do that in heels or flats, bikinis or burkinis, in the home, in a science lab or even in a parliament."

We as women and girls can do anything!

Thanks for reading
