What makes a woman powerful?

A strong woman stands up for herself. “She is not afraid to share her ideas and thoughts, regardless of what others think.” “She speaks her heart and her mind.” “She respects herself enough to stand up for herself, the causes she believes in, and the welfare of others.”

Do you really know who the “One” is? Your true Soulmate?

Part of SWSG’s mission is to use the skills of strong women to mentor girls, fostering their leadership, self-confidence, and internal strength. Without strong women, the program would not exist. But what is a strong woman? In order to fully understand what lessons we are trying to impart on our girls, we must begin with square one. What are the traits of a strong woman?

To find the answer, I gathered the opinions of a diverse sampling of several strong women I know. I expected the answers to be drastically different, but I was delighted to unearth a few common themes that ran through the responses.

1. A strong woman knows who she is.

“She considers who she is and what she wants for herself.”

“She follows her heart.”

“She shows her authentic self and honors her instincts.”

But this is not static; rather, it is an ever-evolving process as she explores her interests. She stays true to her values as this process continues.

“She is self-aware and continually growing into her true self.”

“She cultivates her own interests.”

“She can understand and appreciate her own strengths, then use those strengths to achieve her own success.” 2. A strong woman stands up for herself. This one is not easy, and requires not only passion and confidence, but also tact and timing. I think this is one of the most important characteristics for adolescents and girls to develop and maintain. “She is not afraid to share her ideas and thoughts, regardless of what others think.”

“She speaks her heart and her mind.”

“She respects herself enough to stand up for herself, the causes she believes in, and the welfare of others.” 3. A strong woman is happy! How could I almost forget about this one? Thankfully, I have many jovial and energetic women in my life who reminded me of the importance of being happy and positive.

“She brings fun into her life and whatever she does.”

“She tries to develop a sense of balance.”

“She counts her blessings.”

“She strives to create a positive environment for herself and her family.”

“She lives fully, loves hard, has fun, and has a sense of humor.” 4. A strong woman challenges herself. Even a woman who is capable, confident, and secure in her strengths must challenge herself to continue growing and pushing unfamiliar boundaries. “Even if life is not easy, she makes a point to find the good and make things better.”

“She meets a challenge head-on.”

“She puts one foot in front of the other every day.”

And she admits she doesn’t have all the answers. She is willing to be flexible and seek more information in order to better her life and sharpen her mind.

“She asks questions.”

“She has a willingness to learn, but can be the teacher when needed.”

“She is confident in her abilities, but willing to learn more.”

Do men like long or short legs?

The research corroborated conventional wisdom, which has long held that men find women with longer legs more attractive. "Legginess is something that we know men prefer in mates.

abcnews.go.com - Study: Men, Women Love Longer Legs - ABC News

Jan. 17, 2008 — -- If you have legs and know how to use them, then both men and women are more likely to find you attractive, according to a new study from researchers at Wroclaw University in Poland. The research corroborated conventional wisdom, which has long held that men find women with longer legs more attractive. "Legginess is something that we know men prefer in mates. The news in this research is that women prefer longer legs in mates," said UCLA associate psychology professor Martie Haselton. The affinity for gammy people has been showcased in movies like "Pretty Woman," in which Julia Roberts' legs provided some emotional therapy to Richard Gere, and Vince Vaughn's legs crashed weddings and broke hearts in "Wedding Crashers." Researchers asked more than 200 male and female volunteers to rate the attractiveness of seven male and female images. All the people in the images were same the height, but each had different leg lengths, which varied 5, 10 and 15 percent longer than the social norm. The majority preferred legs 5 percent longer than average, followed by those that were 10 percent longer. According to another research report the perfect shape for a woman's leg are 1.4 times the length of her upper body. Vertically gifted actress Nicole Kidman fits the bill. For those who fall short, they can thank Leonardo Da Vinci for his high-heel shoe invention, which has allowed shorter women to rise above others for decades. But lengthy gams aren't purely aesthetic. What makes for a heavenly body also has showed they make for healthier ones, too. "Shorter legs are associated with certain diseases … type 2 diabetes … cardiovascular diseases, so people might prefer slightly longer legs because they are indicative of health," Haselton said.
