In recent years, there has been an increased interest in women’s roles in our society, together with increased efforts to reverse our under-representation in all areas.
In a world that remains overwhelmingly male-dominated, it’s interesting to learn more about the struggles and achievements of women around the world. This can provide writers of all genres with much needed inspiration to write about today’s prominent women from all walks of life.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the reasons why it is important to keep writing women’s stories:
To Share Their Struggle And Achievements- sharing women’s struggles and achievements through stories can help enlighten others to these factors and help us become more in tune with each other’s feelings, needs, and lives.
To Get Empowered- successful women can inspire others to transform their beliefs and attitudes. They have the ability to align people with positive purpose and meaning. Both writers and readers alike, feel empowered by hearing stories of inspiring women, which helps to achieve increased productivity and performance. Strong, successful women often win hearts and minds, not through verbal encouragement, but through their genuine intention and hard work. True empowerment is achieved through the change of beliefs, instead of behaviours.
To Become More Empathetic- writers and readers can more easily understand the feelings and emotions of women around them through their unique stories. When we express empathy towards others, we can establish strong emotional connections with others, which can affect our thoughts, behaviours, and lives.
To Enable Better Relationship Between Genders- Female writers can close the gap between genders with women’s stories from their unique perspectives. They can tell how increased female representations in business and politics will improve leadership through meritocracy.
To Become More Humble- women’s stories teach both writers and readers alike that successful women can survive adversity, despite any challenges they might face. Those with narcissistic tendencies and overconfidence could become humbled by these powerful stories. Humility is a well-known human trait and it is essential in any social interaction. Through humility, it’s easier for us to learn from past experiences and acknowledge our mistakes. By being humble, we can be more sincere and continue improving both personally and professionally.
