The Woman With A Voice

The Woman With A Voice
A Daughter - The female offspring of the human species; a female child of any age. Would you like to see what type of daughter you have? Know what daughters grew to change the world? Moreover, what women changed your daughter’s life and even yours? Come on, take this journey with me.

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer.

A daughter is a gift of love.

A daughter is a little girl who grows up to be a friend.

A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of herself.

A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future.

A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart.

Daughters are versatile, they strive for greatness, they are caring, and they look to make a difference, a lover of life.

Daughters are, loving, courageous, lively, brave, inspiring, happy, confident, wise, intellectual, witty, and spirited.

Your daughter is an inspiration, and will lead by example one day. However, she should know some women who have made some great accomplishments along the way. These women are women that make the statement that daughters, girls, and women have a voice. This is a combined list from Good Housekeeping and myself, that make/made a difference.

Your daughter is making a difference but needs to see how other, once girls and now women, made a difference. I am sure that you can add others to this list, maybe even yourself, both mothers and fathers.
