Inspirational Women ~ we are of an incredible era where women’s identity is less and less defined by convention. There have always been hugely inspirational women through the ages, but it does feel like many more now have a chance to achieve their potential, as well as recognition for their abilities.
So many women’s voices have not been heard in the past, but with their inherent courage and tenacity they did pave the way to today… Still an imperfect world where equality of all kinds is often a daily battle. But we can honour those of the past and future by continuing day by day to herald women and their rights.
I am so very fortunate to be surrounded not only by incredible women but by friends, colleagues and peers of both sexes who truly believe that with patience and persistence the world can be a better place for all - women, men, children, and the inhabitants of our gorgeous planet.
Photo: My mother and father - at the beginning of their journey together…theirs was peppered with love and breaking down many preconceptions in the countries and cultures they lived in.
