5 Inspiring Women
Here’s 5 Female Leaders to Keep You Inspired!Over time we have seen more and more women whose political, social and environmental activism breaking layers of glass ceilings, inspiring others to look up and beyond. In the face of a new chapter, let’s stand stronger together, never stop shifting the course of history to a more hopeful future that will be better for all. Here’s 5 female leaders to keep you inspired.
Aung San Suu Kyi Imagine spending almost 20 years in some form of detention. Why would someone endure that? It was none other than Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Aung San Suu Kyi, who strived to bring democracy to military-ruled Myanmar. As one of the international symbols for peaceful resistance in the face of oppression, Mrs Suu Kyi “could not remain indifferent to all that was going on.” Finally becoming State Counsellor, a role akin to a Prime Minister, she continues to govern with democracy and advocate human rights.
Using her iron-strong will, she changed the face of Britain. Having not been selected as a Conservative candidate as they didn’t deem a “young mother fit for Parliament”, that didn’t let that stop Margaret Thatcher from becoming Britain’s first female prime minister. Though she remains as a controversial figure, she epitomized what it means to be undaunted by it all. Spawning styles of shoulder-pads and sharply tailored suits, power-dressing became a look that was doned by many powerful women.

Malala Yousafzai Being shot in the head didn’t stop this wonderful young girl from fighting for a girl’s right to receive education. Another Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Malala Yousafzai defied the Taliban in Pakistan and continues to be “a brave and gentle advocate of peace, who through the simple act of going to school became a global teacher.” Where 8 days of military spending could provide 12 years of free education to every child on the planet, she demands leaders to invest in books instead of bullets.
What more can we say? Another incredible woman, well-spoken, intelligent, and classy; an advocate of social issues such as poverty, healthy living and education. Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama is a lawyer and a writer, and the first African-American First Lady of the United States – but first and foremost, a mother and a wife. Undoubtedly, she is an inspiration, a role model for people all around the world. A pioneer for others to follow.
And last but not least, let’s not forget to advocate women’s rights and human rights with the first American woman in U.S. history to become the presidential nominee of a major political party, Hillary Clinton.
“Although we were not able to shatter that highest and hardest ceiling this time, thanks to you it has 18 million cracks in it, and the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time. [...] We made history, and let’s make some more.”
