“What a bold woman.”
With those four words, a wave of empowerment has surged. A movement that had us belting out our favorite anthems, sporting our own “bold woman” tees, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of our ballots. A movement that will likely redefine the dictionary in the future.
The term “bold” has shifted from a mere descriptor of brashness to a badge of honor. It now signifies a woman who is fierce, unyielding, and impossible to ignore. It embodies someone who is soaring so high that her adversaries can only respond with petty insults. It represents women who refuse to be silenced, intimidated, or objectified.
Ladies, we are reclaiming what it means to be bold.
This power is ours, you see? It’s ours along with our minds, our bodies, and our choices. It’s ours along with our voices.
Here are the traits of a “Bold Woman” as defined by the spirit of 2016:
- We are intelligent. We understand our battles and the reasons behind them. Feminism is not a dirty word; it simply means advocating for equal rights.
- We stand our ground. We won’t allow anyone to trample over us—be it our children or those who think they can exploit us.
- We speak up. When we witness injustice, whether it’s racism or sexism, we aren’t afraid to call it out.
- We fight for our beliefs. Today, tomorrow, and always—this fight is ongoing.
- No one can deter us.
- Bullies only fuel our fire. Their negativity inspires us to advocate for those who feel afraid.
- Girls truly do run the world. Remember, your mom is a girl. She brought you into this world.
- We prioritize love. Our aim is to create a world where kindness and acceptance prevail over fear and selfishness.
- We are incredibly strong. Our strength is unyielding—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
- We rise above. As Michelle Obama wisely noted, we choose to go high.
- We embrace the chaos. Life is messy, and so are we. Whatever comes our way, we’ve handled worse.
- We have long memories. We remember the struggles of past feminists and the fight for our voices.
- Our voices resonate. And our votes make an even bigger impact.
- Our bodies belong to us. They aren’t up for grabs by anyone else; we decide their fate.
- We get things done. The fight for women’s rights has been ongoing, but we won’t be stopped now.
So, if you identify as a “bold woman,” make your voice heard! This is our opportunity to take control of our choices and stand against the patriarchy. This is our year to celebrate progress.
