I feel and know that Power lies in women who have the ability to even rebuke evil even if it means harm to them. In other situations, women seek to overpower injustice in order to better human-kind. Throughout History, women have stepped up as protectors, providers, and teachers and used their femininity and masculinity powers to ‘Make It Happen.’ This article talks about my personal views on the powerfulness of women.I will start off with Ruth’s story has written in the Old Testament:However, Ruth refuses, insisting upon remaining with Naomi, declaring one of the most famous commitments in the Holy Scriptures:“Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.”- Ruth 1:16, 17It is an interesting story that not mention a lot, again seeking to diminish the power of women. The fidelity of a Moabite widowed woman (Ruth) for the widowed Mother-In-Law, (Naomi). In today’s time, this term can be referred to as a ‘sexual monogamy.’ Ruth stood up for courage when women were considered as property. If a husband dies, the wife becomes property of his brother or son. Ruth however fought for ‘freedom’ and sought to stay with Naomi for life. She became one our first female sheros. In my own voyage as a woman, I’m empowered to be the women whom I seek to be.I studied the lives and work of the following women – Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Josephine Baker, Billie Holiday, Past Presidents of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority: Dorothy I. Heights and Mon Humphries Bailey, Congresswomen Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordon, Barbara Lee, Yolanda King, Frida Kahlo, Benazir Butto, S. Epatha Merkerson and my ultimate Shero, Angela Davis.Sheroes have dedicated their lives to provide opportunities for women and children to reach their goals. These women across the world are reaching their goals and potential through networking, teaching, mentoring to provide the necessary education to be successful.Women will always determine the course of events and forms of the human culture. Throughout history and in today’s time, women continue to govern equal rights for women to develop the many forms of human culture. They will love with their hearts and souls with the aid of their informative intellectual minds. The power of women will no longer be footnotes of footnotes. Time has changed (and been changing). Engaged women will always openly embrace the feminist power on global perspectives. They will continue to emerge into positions of influence. The work transitions are not just only for individuals, but for society as well. I will repeat my opening statement – ‘Women are the True Powers of the World.’
