I received this piece of decorated paper with an amazing message on it. I just thought it would be something nice to pass along to all of the women that read my blog, and feel free to share it as well!
"No woman's beauty has ever outlived her, with the possible exception of Marilyn Monroe. And her image serves mostly as a hallmark of tragedy- a reminder that looks ultimately do not win women love, happiness or respect.
The women who have truly changed the world have done so because of their conviction and intellect. Jane Austen, Harriet Tubman, Marie Curie, Helen Keller, Indira Gandhi, even Oprah Winfrey- none of them made and impact because they were cute girls in hot pants.
Millions of lives have been saved because Clara Barton founded the Red Cross... Rosa Parks never made the cover of People Magazine, but her impact on history is certainly greater than Jenny McCarthy's.
The women of tomorrow need a reality check: Ultimately their brains, not their bodies, have the capacity to enlighten and influence the world well into the next century. Why should they obsess about the shape of their legs when they can shape history? Real girl power lies between their ears."
