Behind Every Great Woman – No footsteps to follow. Just dust from the ones she left behind.
They told your mother to wait. Your grandmother. Every woman before her. To be patient. To stay quiet. To take up less space. To smile, nod, and shrink themselves down until the world finally decided they were worthy.
Fuck that.
International Women’s Day isn’t a celebration. It’s a fight. A fight that was started by women who refused to stay in their place, who tore through the barriers built to keep them small, who made history because they rewrote the rules instead of following them.
