From the very start of this world, women have fight for their right to vote, education, professional and social equality. And they continue to do so because the fight is not over yet. They still are fighting for equality in this male-centered world where women are just used to keep at home and do house core. There are still places where girls are not allowed to education. Not allowed to work or even go out.
In some countries, girls are taught that their only goal in life is to be a good wife and mother. They are taught from childhood that they are weak and they have to right to speak and put their point of view. Women are not allowed to work because they have been taught that ambition is only for men.
But now as society is being broad-minded, women are fighting for their rights. Even though women are can do any job they want and even they have started to built careers and followed their dreams but they still have to face the old beliefs of this society in both personal and professional life.
With facing all these difficulties, women are continuing to fight and grow as women are capable of having a full-time job, raise children, and keep up with some impossible beauty standards that society sets. Women have more responsibilities now than ever and still continues to thrive.
Here we are sharing a collection of Strong Women quotes about girl power to inspire you to fight for your right.

“I’m not the kind of girl who spends hours getting ready. I don’t blow dry my hair. And I hate make-up. I’m not pretty. And I don’t want to be. I am passionate and restless and wild. I’m exhausted by prudent ideologies. I’m not inferior because of my lack of convention. I’m as strong as I am broken. I’m tired of having my sexuality mistaken for an invitation. I will sweat and I will run. I will let the rain come down on me. I want to feel life as I am. I don’t want to skate through having my immoderation controlled by weak judgments. By fear.
I don’t want to be who I’m supposed to be, I want to be who I am.”
― Jacqueline Simon Gunn

“Listen, ladies, we were not born to be a man’s plaything. We were not born to serve men… We are not less than or inferior to men. We are life. We give life. We nurture life. I don’t understand how that’s not a big deal but it should be a big deal. It’s a great deal actually. We endure a hell of a lot of pain to keep the cycle of life going. Being treated less than essential, less than precious should not be tolerated. In fact, I don’t even understand how it’s allowed and normalized.”

What do men need more than this to respect a woman??? Handling a family is equivalent to handling a big corporate office.. N she does it very well. Respect her beauty by praising it n don’t disrespect it by passing dirty comments. Some mentally ill men RAPE a woman, but dis-respect every woman including their mother n sisters with this act… and cause of such mentally ill men, every man is ashamed of being a Male/Man..”
― Honeya

The girl has always been half goddess half hell”
― Nikita Gill, Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul
“Everyone wants a strong woman
until she actually stands up,
flexes her muscles,
projects her voice
Suddenly, she is too much.
She has forgotten her place.
You love those women
as ideas, fantasies
Not as breathing, living humans
threatening to be even better
than you could ever be.”
― Ari Eastman
“As an independent woman, you are not defined by your partners or your parents. You are defined by you.”
― Kailin Gow
Quotes For Being Strong Woman
“You must be brave, little daughter, and remember that the stronger the wind the stronger the tree needs to be.”
― Maureen Lindley, The Private Papers of Eastern Jewel

― Moustafa Bayoumi, How Does It Feel to Be a Problem?: Being Young and Arab in America
“Men have been coddled and catered to for so long, that they can’t even deal with an asserted, honest woman. When a woman stands up for herself and demands respect and/or to be treated with basic human decency, but is labeled as difficult, unlovable, bitter, or a man-hater, then you know the world has failed women. I challenge the men who are consciously aware of this to speak up! Advocate for women’s rights like you advocate needing to be laid.”
― Scarlet Jei Saoirse
“She was a good person with a bad mouth,
She has spent her life hiding behind the blades she grew on the tip of
Her tongue,
Some called her bitch, while others took many steps away from her madness.
But rare and few are those who could always find a way to see how genuine her heart is and
How pure her soul is.
It only took one look through her eyes to see how such eyes could never lie,
Never fake,
And never pretend ….”
― Samiha Totanji
“We women talk too much, but even then we don’t tell half what we know.”
― Nancy Astor the Viscountess Astor

― Nicole Lyons
“Feminism is about women having choices and living the life they choose, not about hating men. Many feminists, like me, love and marry men because we choose to embrace being a woman completely and whole-heartedly.”

― Kailin Gow

― Karen Hawkins, How to Abduct a Highland Lord
“Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women.”
― Nancy Astor the Viscountess Astor

“A Woman That Can Build Can Destroy”
― Marion Bekoe
“I believe that women ought to be more proactive about making choices in life. I think that I am not happy about seeing women take the passenger’s seat and playing the victim game all too often. If you know a guy is engaged, don’t kiss him! There is another woman in the situation whom you are hurting and that other woman could have very well been you, your sister, your mother! If someone is committed, don’t sleep with him! There is another woman in the picture that is going to get hurt and that another woman is your sister, just because she is a woman too! This is the kind of proactive I want to see in women, everywhere. We’re not victims of the choices that we make; we made those choices! Is another woman doing good? More successful? Happier? Good for her. Because she is your sister and she could very well be you. Let’s respect the relationships, the personal paths, the doors, and the walkways of our fellow women, and let us wish one another the utmost happiness. Because this is the only way up and out.”
― C. JoyBell C.

Love her wild or leave her there.”
― Nikki Rowe, Strong Women Quotes
