Women play a significant role in creating a more just and compassionate society and have a role to play in helping steer the world out of its modern day complexities and multi-layered complications.
We need to stand up and be counted and take ourselves seriously. Make impact, keep your foot on the gas, believe in you. Look at ways in which you can help in little and big ways, and believe that even as one woman, you can make a difference.
Inch by inch, patch by patch, we can weave a huge blanket over the big wide world to turn the tide of the complications our world today faces.
A world run by women will be a better world, and whilst our generation may not have 50% (equal balance) of women at the top of every industry or government in my life time, let’s prepare our daughters to do so.
Marvellous things women have invented
- First Car Heater – Margaret Wilcox (1893)
- The Fire Escape – Anna Connelly (1887)
- The Dishwasher – Josephine Cochrane (1887)
Wonderful things we do
- Fetch kids
- Clean, mop, sweep
- Cook like legends
- Are patient with our parents, respectful towards our Nan and Pop
- Nurture, counsel, assist and help
- Mend broken knees, elbows and hearts
- Act as the stabilising force in families
- Make lunches, drop off forgotten school bags and books
- Book the cat into the vet
- Do the dentist or doctor or any other run……
- Drag ourselves into bed at night, wondering why we are so exhausted
Never underestimate the power of a woman, or more importantly, a tribe of women together. Watch out world.
