Today, social media is immensely populated with strong and accomplished women who have defied the norms of gender discrimination, excelling in their respective professions, raising their voices for numerous causes and standing up for what they believe in.
Not only do these social media superwomen represent beauty, grace and compassion, but have also displayed their immense capacity for strength, intelligence and courage in all walks of life.
Journalists, writers, activists, or simply women who refuse to get bogged down and fight for the rights of others, social media superwomen like Faye Dsouza, Sushma Swaraj, Sagarika Ghose, JK Rowling are using social media to speak their mind.
If you aren’t already, you certainly need to follow these social media superwomen and watch how their efforts are making the world, a slightly better place. Not only are they doing emphatically well in their own lines of work, but are using social media to spread the word even further. From supporting their compatriots to teaching bullies a lesson, and unabashedly reporting and critiquing society, these women are an inspiration not just for women, but for all of us.
