Women oftentimes have to work much harder than their male counterparts just to be heard. Women & the CommunityĬreating a space for women’s voices to be heard is key since historically they have been overlooked and silenced (see Rosalind Franklin, The US Presidents, Shirley Chisholm, Amelia Earhart, any history book). This year we’re taking another look at some more fierce women who inspire us every day, are rewriting history, and are paving the way for the next generation. Last year, we looked at some of our female role models and how they make a huge difference for women everywhere. It’s about time we give women the credit they deserve.
This attention to female role models will bring about some great leaders (and positive change) for years to come. Having positive images of powerful, intelligent women making change in the world sends the message that your opportunities are limitless, regardless of your gender.
Since we are still working to close the gender gap, it’s important for younger generations and those who aspire to great things to see the women they look up to in prominent roles. This quality is exactly why female role models are so important, and at Ellevate we’re committed to celebrating it. Being a female role model requires a confidence not rooted solely in career or status, but in seeing the value in herself. She is a woman who makes a difference, whether it is in the little things she does in her everyday life or the grand gestures made in the public eye. Reaching out to women can make a huge difference, and the women we admire are constantly lifting others up.Ī female role model does not have to be a celebrity. Lifting women up and encouraging each other to reach their fullest potential is the only way we can make change. Our female role models take “women supporting women” very seriously. The women we admire are a diverse group who share some of our core values and work to create unity and equality. At Ellevate, there are many qualities that we value and strive to emulate. There are many qualities used to determine Female Role Model and everyone’s definition looks different. What constitutes a female role model, and why are they important? It is through these bonds that we learn to appreciate and become inspired by the stories shared of the women we call #FemaleRoleModel. Utilizing the power of community is truly the catalyst that will evoke change and equality, helping women flourish in our careers and personal development. It’s important now more than ever for women to support each other.
