Searching for some girl power quotes? Look no further! Here are some girl power quotes by your favourite authors and characters.
My daughter loves to read, and when she comes across any girl power quotes, she makes a note of them. These appeal to her in a way that is often very personal, saying something that she might not be able to articulate herself, but identifies strongly with. Or draws some inspiration from.
I realised this when I went to her room one day. Of course, the door was peppered with neat squares of paper clustered around a hand-made ‘Knock Before You Enter’ sign. Peering at these squares, I realised that they were a collection of girl power quotes that she had come across. Each square featured one of these girl power quotes, in bold black letters, illustrated with doodles that framed each.
I smiled. I had brought up a true reader!

This strange love story reminds me of Princess Diana when she gave an interview about Prince Charles - "There were three of us in this marriage!”
This love was flawed and broken the way only we humans know how to break things with our ego, pride, insecurity and complexities!
Where do I even begin to tell the story of how deep a love can be, how it transcends time, place and people. Perhaps this is a story about how women are their own worst enemies. Either way it is a story that tells us how frail, fragile and fraught we are as humans and how much we hurt each other.

A feminist writer and poet, Maya Angelou has inspired a number of us with her words. Here are some of my favourite lines by her and why she inspired me.

Oh, but it is true, child. For most women, the waiting comes from their earliest years. Waiting to be asked to choose, waiting to be heard, waiting to be loved, to be appreciated.
