In the latest edition of ‘The Things We Don’t Say’, Farrah Saville looks at the women she draws inspiration from as a mother this International Women’s Day.
On March 8, women worldwide will observe International Women’s Day. I say observe because often, it feels like there isn’t a lot to celebrate. We look at some of the atrocities against women worldwide, and it feels like what are we celebrating? When I look at my daughter, I ask myself “What world am I raising this young lady in?”
There are so many things that women need to consider- safety, how they dress, managing it all by balancing a career and family, growing their careers versus giving up their careers, getting married as the biological clock ticks away – the list is endless.
The negativities can be endless, but this month, I choose to celebrate raising a girl and International Woman’s Day because, from my personal experiences as a woman, I have found that being a woman is AWESOME and should indeed be celebrated.
Here’s my list of ten women I am inspired by to help me navigate being a mom, and help my daughter to see reason in a world that can sometimes be difficult.
