Today is International Women’s Day, a moment to celebrate female empowerment, especially in light of recent events that have amplified the importance of feminism. Coined the Day Without A Woman, it’s a day for women to step back and show just how vital they are to society. This also serves as a beautiful reminder of the next generation of young girls who will take our place and hopefully reach even greater heights.
A Twitter user named Mia shared a heartwarming note discovered by her friend, a fourth-grade teacher, tucked away under a student’s desk. The note, likely from a young girl, read: “Do you want to join a club for female empowerment? We are the leaders.”
Absolutely, yes! First off, can we join this empowering movement? While we may not be 10 anymore, we’re always eager for a boost of encouragement. And let’s not forget, this club has the backing of some pretty incredible empowered women.
Thinking back to our own fourth-grade experiences, I remember singing songs from “Aladdin” and “The Little Mermaid” while playing outside, buried in Baby-Sitters Club books, and tuning into episodes of “Saved by the Bell.” The most I did in terms of activism was creating a few posters about saving the whales, which was quite the trend back in the ‘90s.
Feminism and empowerment weren’t topics discussed by my mother or the other women in my life. But today? Young girls have a whole new world of opportunities ahead of them. We are engaging in meaningful conversations about women’s roles in society, and we’re mindful of the media we consume, ensuring that female characters have aspirations beyond just finding love. We’re telling our daughters that excelling in math and science is just as vital for them as it is for boys—something I wish I had heard when I was younger.
In short, today’s girls possess an awareness and experience that we simply didn’t have at their age. It’s truly inspiring! From attending Women’s Marches alongside their mothers to watching films like “Hidden Figures” and realizing their potential, progress is palpable. While there’s still more to be done, this student’s note shows we’re definitely moving in the right direction.
