Today we are surrounded by powerful women. We are surrounded by wonderful mothers. We are surrounded by women who are aware of the oppression of women historically and today, and who focus their energy on bettering themselves while working to improve the world with the strength they know they hold. As women continue to empower themselves and others, all women can come to know their own strength and use that knowledge to make a difference in lives around the world.
