To Be A Woman

Great Women 

To be a great woman means to know 

the stories of others. 

A great woman knows not only her own battles, 

but those of the women that came before her, 

and those that stand by her side. 

 

A great woman does not watch 

the others burn. 

 

She takes their stories, their pain, their loss, 

and she passes them on— 

then fights to stop them from happening again. 

 

 

Real Women 

Real women  

stand by other women. 

They do not undermine 

each other’s goals. 

They fight together 

and help other women 

feel beautiful too.
