We hope these quotes by amazing women inspired every young girl to understand their potential as a woman, develop their strengths and wits, and embrace the strong woman they will become. We need to teach young girls about feminism, the importance of their voice and their actions, and the power that one inspirational quote has to guide them towards their greatest potential in life.
Social media has completely changed the way every girl sees herself. With Instagram, Tik Tok, Pinterest, and YouTube, every young woman is confusing real beauty and true success with what is portrayed online, even though it’s not always authentic.
To be a beautiful person is to recognize the goodness within yourself, to believe that you are a beautiful, capable, and strong person. If you identify as a woman–a white woman, a Black woman, an Asian woman, a woman of color–believe in yourself and what you are capable of. Think of one of these quotes and remind yourself that you are powerful and can do anything you set your mind to. You are a force. Remember that.
