I have always loved young women for their sensitive spiritual nature, gentleness, and special beauty.
When I had a group of undergraduates in the room, I would say to them, ‘How many of you want to run for office someday?’ And almost every male hand in the room would go up. And very few of the young women.
When young women get called bossy, it’s often because they’re trying to exercise power without status. It’s not a problem that they’re being dominant; the backlash arises because they’re overstepping their status.
I have a huge impact with young girls. Young women. That’s my demographic.
Not many young women of my age have been lucky enough to have had a wonderful mentor in their life.
Yes, I do strive to be someone young women can look up to.
I’m a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women, and part of that involves how we present ourselves.
I blurb a lot of books by women, and I’m eager to provide encouragement and support for young women.
Plan International protects the rights of children and young women, and I’m an ambassador for the ‘Because I Am a Girl’ campaign.
The young women waking up to feminism now already wake up to more consciousness than my generation had. Even just simple things like equal pay – before you went, in my generation, and asked for a raise, you went through nausea and your palms sweating.
Each job I had wasn’t necessarily the perfect job, but I always talk to young women about how you really have to take certain things from each job and learn from that and then move on to something you really want to do.
I think it’s very important for young women, young people and older people as well, to know that love is important, but it’s also important to find a partner who respects you and loves you the way you deserve to be treated.
There are so many career opportunities out there now for young women, and it’s great to have the opportunity to encourage them to get involved in these new careers.
I want young women when they’re 14 to start thinking about what they want over the course of their lives.
People who see successful young women think that there must be an angle there. It’s too good to be true that woman from a good upbringing can walk into a good job and be director.
There’s a lot of pressure on young women. We need more honest women who are willing to talk about their struggles.
I’m not going to dinner with somebody who eats like a bird, nor do I want to eat like a bird. But its weird: In our business, I’m a size 2 and considered curvy. Its important to remind young women, ‘Listen, even skinny girls have cellulite, even Halle Berry has cellulite, and what you see in photos isn’t totally real.’
When I first came out about my breast cancer, I didn’t want to talk about it, but I had to, because young women were getting it, and people weren’t understanding that.
Growing up, I looked up to major league baseball players, and now these young women have amazing, incredible women all across the board, from swimming to gymnastics to softball to basketball. It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.
A lot of young women play soccer, and it’s wonderful to give them something to aspire to.
I always tell young women that they have a right to own their opinion, to speak up, and to make the first move.
No education can be of true advantage to young women but that which trains them up in humble industry, in great plainness of living, in exact modesty of dress.
I think the main thing for young women is to have confidence and not be afraid to challenge continuing inequalities, because that’s the only way you’ll get change.
I know our country can remain forward-thinking by ensuring young women and minorities are given equal opportunity.
To make computer science more attractive to women, we might help young women change how they think about themselves and what’s expected of them. But we might also diversify the images of scientists they see in the media, along with the decor in the classrooms and offices in which they might want to study or work.
To have been the first woman premier of Victoria was not only a great opportunity but also a great chance to say to the young women of Victoria – Liberal or Labor – ‘You can do it, too.’
Young women, the family unit is forever, and you should do everything in your power to strengthen that unit.
I’m amazed at the number of young women who tell me they can’t find men to talk to them.
We can do it all and have it all. That’s what I want young women to know. Make their own music. If nobody’s making music for them, make your own. Do what you are passionate about and don’t let anybody or anything stop you or convince you that you are not worthy.
I’ve been very honest with the press, even when I had work done on my face. A lot of people would cover that up. I want to be a voice for young women. I want to empower them. I’ve been through a lot, and I want to send them a relatable message.
Young women can be particularly hampered by a lack of female teachers, since they may not feel as comfortable in classes taught by men. And as more girls see educated women who are prominent in their careers and communities, the more positive role models there are for them to emulate.
I love Amy Adams. She is wonderful. Evan Rachel Wood is a blast. I am also really excited about Ari Graynor from ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’ and ‘American Crime.’ I think it is an exciting time for young women in this industry. I am excited to make my own path.
Young women today, as in the fifties, find themselves entering the big world and having to make choices.
I’ve chosen to get the word out to women, especially young women, that tobacco is not glamorous – it’s addictive and smoking takes a serious toll on your health.
Adoption should be an empowering option for young women in crisis, knowing that the people around them – family, friends, church – will respect their choice.
There are so many female roles – particularly for young women – that are just somebody’s girlfriend or somebody’s daughter, or that are accessories to the main story rather than being three-dimensional characters.
