In world history, many great women contributed their lives to create new visions and ideologies, which led to new insights and revolutionary changes. They thrived to establish a new world where equality, justice, harmony and love coexisted.
I am starting a new series that tells the stories of world-famous women who made their signature in history and became the greatest motivation and aspiration to many people around the globe.
When we talk about world-famous women, I would like to begin with the query – who is a woman? In my opinion, a woman is an individual who has free will and should have their own space of creation and existence.
All humans have their responsibilities, but sometimes these responsibilities are often turned into a chain that keeps the wings of some people from chasing their sky. Most of the time women are more chance to helplessly fall into this shackle of limitation in comparison with men. I am not raising an allegation against men or this confining society. But it’s the truth that we can’t oppose.
Since we live in such a world, how do some women break this curse? How do they achieve respect and greatness?
I think this question has grave importance in today’s world. As it can bring changes in the mindset of many people.
As a woman, my biggest motivation is my parents, especially my father. He made me challenge myself and forced me to be independent. I won’t say he supported me rather than that he taught me how to uphold myself. As we say there is a woman behind the successes of a man, behind every woman there is a man who urged her to be successful.
When we take Indira Gandhi, the first woman prime minister of India, as an example, her father Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had a great role in her life and his teachings assisted her in modernizing India.
I am not saying that this is the case of everyone. I just want to impart that, as human beings we should respect and hold each other. Men should support women and vice versa.
All the greatest women in world history achieved greatness through their hard work. They did things with credibility, sincerity and honesty.
Achieving fame is not the goal we want but making our life valuable is important. As an individual, we should seek the respect that we deserve whether it is women or men. We should have courage and should do things with an honest mind. We should acknowledge what we are capable of doing. Self-recognition is the key to greatness.
If we didn’t get opportunity to prove our worth, we should create one. The way to success is not a favorable one our perseverance and patience make it easy.
The women we respect today, who we consider as greatest personalities, have gained their own space in history through their strong willpower to stand out. They acquired enough strength and courage to open up their self and break the chain of oppression. Their voice heard through their actions and potential. Even though this society has many downfalls in treating men and women equally, they made their lives great by overcoming these challenges.
In today’s world, both men and women are valued and respected. Yet some things still are not fully altered. We should create a sphere where each individual has the freedom to create greatness. As we are born, we should build a unique place for our own in this world. And this society should treat everyone equally. And equality should always serve justice.
As a preamble, I hope you enjoyed my article. I will start the series with Florence Nightingale in my next work. Stay tuned….
THANKYOU.
