Whether conciously or not it is impossible to deny that these forces affect our perceptions, beliefs and day to day existence. However, once aware of these influences, women who expose themselves to empowerment messages, strong female role models and tools for personal growth are not only more likely to realize their full potential, they are ultimately more likely to transform our culture for the betterment of all women and the world.
