Women who came out and lived their dreams...

Society have always set boundaries for women but she is the one who always showed that she can achieve what she dreamt of. There is dominance of patriarchal society that's why they set some rules for women like dress your body type , don't wear lipsticks , don't be so emotional , don't wear short clothes and don't speak much etc.Then at some point of time families want their daughters to settle down and they don't even bother to ask a girl wheather she want to or not, wheather she want to study or do any job . Although we can observe some changes over the years.

Like I came across an incident about a girl named 'Asha' who was my neighbour earlier , now she is a chartered accountant in Indore . The difference is she dare to dream and make it. She came from a conservative family and she has made a difference by her never giving up spirit.

Famous athlete Dutee Chand quoted :

"Once we have made up our mind, no force can stop us."
And that's really true , when you realised you are born as a warrior...dream it and work hard until you made it. You are nonetheless .

Paving the way for women to join the automobile industry on esteemed platforms, 39-year-old Dhivya Suryadevara was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of General Motors.The finance whiz worked as the vice-president of GM’s corporate finance unit before her appointment.Mary Barra, the first female CEO in the auto industry recommended the Harvard graduate saying, “Dhivya’s experience and leadership in several key roles throughout our financial operations, positions her well to build on the strong business results we’ve delivered over the last several years."Blazing a trail in the traditionally male-dominated sector, Dhivya is certainly a woman to watch out for.

Dipa Karmakar the gymnast has entered the history books and with such grace too. The 24-year-old Olympic medallist who was once fearful of falling, swept the judges away with her amazing Produnova Vault, scoring 15.100 for the same.The Produnova routine requires the gymnast to run full tilt towards the springboard, jump and swing both legs, perform twin somersaults while still in the air, and end with a frontal landing. It is considered to be one of the hardest vaults that is performed in women’s artistic gymnastics.In August 2016, she scripted history by becoming the first Indian gymnast to qualify for an Olympic final. She never set any limitations for her dreams and she was determined for them , that's why she did it.

Indira Nooyi executive officer and chairperson of PepsiCo, the second largest food and beverage company in the world. She is ranked at number 11 on Forbes’ list of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women in 2017 and second on the list of most powerful women by Fortune for the same year. Having joined PepsiCo in 1994, she has governed the organisation’s international planning over the past decade. There are many examples from all over the world like Hillary Clinton,Michelle Obama , Virginia Wolf, Marie Curie , Anna Freud , Mother Teresa , Mary Kom , Arundhati Roy etc.

It's Meghan Markle refused to royalties and choose to live a normal life , it's Jennifer Lopez wearing 'that' dress at 50, it's Greta Thunberg choosing to stay out of school for climate activism movement. Women are much more capable than they think of themselves.

Earlier we used to listen 'fairy tales' where the main female lead was always saved by the male prince charming as it was believed that females are very delicate . But these modern women set a new definition for women empowerment where they can dare to dream and with consistent efforts and will power they made their journey through all the odds of their lives. The need here is broaden your thinking as a society and as an individual , empowering come from yourself. As a women , we all should start with ourselves first , a single individual can be a inspiration to many. There is nothing wrong to take a stand for yourself and to make a move for your dreams. And if you decide to challenge yourself and break the barriers that came in your way, then believe me you will be proud of yourself one day.
