I wanted to talk about the way a woman is more than the beauty that society portrays her worth as being. In people’s conversations, it flows effortlessly, to judge a woman for her looks measured against society's beauty standards, and her ability to uphold that beauty against time. Rarely are women assessed for their work - of which they do so much. Women’s hardwork has always been a pillar of humanity in societies around the world, whether we talk about it or not.
