Empowered women series - Part 5
These four stories are meant to show the strength of women and enforce the idea they are the driving force behind some of the greatest achievements in this world.
I believe that women have more than one role to play in society: not just mother and daughter, but also teacher and mentor for future generations. These roles complement women’s leading roles in society as professor, nurse, doctor, minister etc.
I feel strongly that women are behind their brothers’, husbands’ or sons’ success in society without undermining the role of the ones they support.
I mentioned these four models for humanity to remind all of us that we shouldn’t only remember the great acts delivered by Prophets and messengers of God, but also the modest acts performed in history by mothers, sisters and wives.
Behind every Prophet, there is a great wise woman as well.
