When I searched the web to find things about girl role models, I found an image that stated Strong Women, Strong Girls. When I clicked on the picture, it came up with a bunch of tips about what the goals of strong girls and strong women included. These were the tips that they gave:
-Building positive self-esteem
-Promoting peaceful relationships and improved communication skills
-Teaching skills for life-long success and introducing them to powerful women who possess these skills
-Creating positive women-girl role model relationships between the girls and college-aged women
I would have to say that I have a positive reaction to this and that I really liked it. I think it is good to go ahead and teach women and girls how to be "strong". I think it is also important to give them tips on how to be a unique individual and stand out from their male counterparts in the world. I don't think that I would have really thought about this image and article before our class because before reading the goals for being a strong woman, I would have considered myself a strong woman and wouldn't need to present the information to myself again. Reading over these things again just kind of reminds me of the qualities that I do have and also makes me want to assure other women in my life that they too are strong, although they don't quite realize it.
