Inspirational Women Quotes That Prove They Are Not The Weaker Sex

Women are often praised in the pages of literature as the 'fairer sex' for their beauty, grace and compassion; and yet, women are treated as weaker than men and are not always given due respect. Interestingly, nature endows only women with the power of creating life, and women are also the best to nurture children into their youth. As a result, women who get the opportunity to develop their skills are able to make the whole society better. Many women have also broken the barriers of gender to prove that they are equal to, if not better than, men in any field of work. Moreover, women are also inherently better at multitasking as even when they are at home, they have to take care of children, family, and chores. Here we have collected some inspiring quotes from well-known people that celebrate the power of women.

And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
