To All The Women In History Who Made Us Who We Are Today.
From us to you.
Women are individuals in whom we all derive from , individuals whose love and strength comes from an inner relief of years obtaining desperation and suppression. This challenge is dedicated to all the strong women out there and yet I am uncapable of addressing this letter to one being ; therefore i must go ahead and express and share my Gratitude to all the women through out history who made us who we are today!
Dear Emmeline Pankhurst,
My first letter reaches out to you ; you were a valued member of the group named the Suffragettes - a political union in which used enthusiastic and active tactics to aid all women in England to have the right to vote, aka as the (WSPU). Your aim was to attain equal rights for women ; young or old! The speeches and disquisitions you gave were nothing but incredible and could give hope to the despairing! You stood up to the police with your never ending love for the cause you knew was right. A leader was a characteristic that belonged in your heart and mind as you encouraged the members to put their activities on hold to step up and replace the void jobs left by the men fighting in the war. As Women we want to thank you and appreciate you for you were not only the prompt and stimulation in helping Women vote in England but you left a mark on the world to fight for what we know its right.
Dear Mae C Jemison,
You are the blueprint ! Not only are you a doctor , an engineer and a also NASA astronaut but you are an African American Women ! it was rare for young African Americans or a child of any black decent to see a role model like you in the newspapers and the news with headlines reading : The first African American Women to travel into space in 1992. You are a huge inspiration as you've written many books and have been shown in several Tv programmes even including Star Trek: The Next Gen. You were one of fifteen accepted into the NASA training programme out of 2,000 applicants ; your passion and dedication shown all throughout your life has encouraged us women to push through the pain and hardship and fight for what we want , once again Thank You!
Dear Frida Kahlo,
Many people may remember you as an amazing artist and feminist , but you were way more than that! You shattered many barriers and hurdles especially for women ; You disregarded the societies ever-changing beauty standards and had a great amount of confidence and love for yourself and others around you. You once said "“I won't curb my self-expression to meet your expectations of how a woman should look.” This is such a powerful message for young girls especially in this era as social media is influencing and teaching us that we have to look a certain way or even picture perfect ; you are such a perfect example on how we should love ourselves and not cower to the media's standards. The paintings you drew also portrayed your personality and likeness of your ambience dealing with themes such as identity and self image. When you turned 18, unfortunately you were involved in a disastrous bus accident causing you to spend over a year in bed and have countless amount of surgeries; this is when you really developed your love and skills in painting , you really inspire us Women to never give up no matter what we may be facing in life and always make the most of it! Thank you for being a great stimulation and character.
Thank you for reading my article ; I want you to know that you are appreciated and loved , you are not alone! Lets live life in alacrity and Joy knowing we all have wonderful role models and Women in our lives present or maybe above who will never stop cheering us on in this venture called life!

Thank You Female Product Companies For Normalizing Human
I was born in 1990. In May, smack dab early mid-year. I am quite LITERALLY the definition of a '90's' kid. I don't remember a lot of commercials from when I was younger, but I do know that growing up women in media were photoshopped, sculpted, and molded to be Barbie perfect.

The Enternal echoes of memory ..
In a small university town, nestled amidst towering oaks and cobblestone streets, there existed a quaint coffee shop called "Eternal Brews." It was a place where time seemed to stand still, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the scent of old books. Within its cozy confines, the coffee shop played host to an intriguing event – a viva session on the topic of memory.As the participants gathered around the worn wooden tables, anticipation hung in the air like a delicate mist. Dr. Sophia, the esteemed moderator of the session, welcomed everyone with a warm smile. Among the attendees was Professor Alan, a renowned neuroscientist, and Dr. Elena, a psychologist with a passion for the human mind.The conversation began with Professor Alan's opening remarks, delving into the intricate workings of memory. He spoke of neurons firing like stars in the night sky, weaving intricate patterns of recollection that shaped our understanding of the world. He posited that memory was more than mere recall; it was the essence of our existence, the thread that connected past, present, and future.Dr. Elena, with her insightful gaze, offered a different perspective. She delved into the realm of emotions, exploring how memory was intertwined with feelings of joy, sorrow, and nostalgia. She recounted tales of patients whose memories had been fractured by trauma, yet who still clung to the fragments of their past like precious heirlooms.As the discussion unfolded, the participants shared their own experiences with memory. Sarah, a literature enthusiast, spoke of how books had the power to preserve moments in time, allowing readers to revisit distant lands and bygone eras with each turn of the page. James, a musician, recounted how melodies from his childhood echoed in his mind like distant whispers, carrying him back to a time when life was simpler and dreams were boundless.But amidst the tales of nostalgia and longing, there lingered a question – did memory truly last forever? Dr. Sophia, ever the voice of reason, posed this query to the group, sparking a spirited debate.Professor Alan argued that while memories might fade with time, their essence endured, like faded photographs hidden in the recesses of the mind. He spoke of the brain's remarkable ability to adapt and rewire itself, forging new connections even as old ones faded into obscurity.Dr. Elena, however, offered a more somber perspective. She spoke of how memories could be distorted by time and perception, their once-vivid colors muted by the passage of years. She recounted studies that showed how eyewitness testimonies could be flawed, leading to wrongful convictions and shattered lives.As the debate raged on, a hush fell over the coffee shop, as if the very walls were listening intently to the words being spoken. And then, in the midst of the discourse, a voice spoke up – soft yet resolute.It was Emily, a young woman with a gentle smile and eyes that sparkled with wisdom beyond her years. She recounted a tale from her own life, of a beloved grandmother who had passed away many years ago. Despite the passage of time, Emily spoke of how her grandmother's presence still lingered, woven into the fabric of her memories like a timeless tapestry.In that moment, the truth became clear – memory was not bound by the constraints of time or space. It was a living, breathing entity, shaped by the experiences and emotions that defined us as individuals. And while the sands of time might erode its edges, the essence of memory would endure, forever etched in the annals of our souls.As the viva session drew to a close, the participants exchanged knowing glances, their hearts and minds forever changed by the journey they had undertaken. For in the quiet corners of "Eternal Brews," amidst the scent of coffee and the rustle of pages, they had discovered the eternal echoes of memory – a reminder that even in the darkest of nights, there was always a glimmer of light, waiting to guide us home.
