In honor of National Women's Equality Day, I honor some of the women who have had a direct effect on my life, who have excelled due to women's equality, some who have overcome great odds to succeed as well as some who will have a brighter future due to women's equality.

 

I have very few photos of my mother but she certainly was the prime person in my life to guide me to be able to care for myself and to have self esteem and that was long before feminism came on the scene. Long live strong women who choose to have an equal standing and a voice in their future.
