Girls are often taught to be good and nice and not to express their emotions - not the best path to becoming an emotionally intelligent woman who can stand in her own power!

Expert Rachel Simmons shares some great information on building EQ in girls in the short video below.

To summarise:

Shirin Ebadi is an Iranian lawyer, Nobel Peace Prize laureate (2003), author of the best-selling book Iran Awakening, human rights activist, women and children’s advocate, mother, Muslim, and amazing woman.

She is one of Iran's best-known, and to some most-controversial, Muslim champions of democracy and human rights.

Benazir Bhutto (Sindhi: بينظير ڀٽو; Urdu: بینظیر بھٹو,  June 21 1953 – 27 December 2007) was a Pakistani politician who chaired the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), a centre-left political party in Pakistan.

Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a Muslim state, having twice been Prime Minister of Pakistan (1988–1990; 1993–1996).

She was Pakistan's first and to date only female prime minister. 

Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett, GBE (11 June 1847 – 5 August 1929) was an English suffragist (one who campaigned for women to have the vote) and an early feminist.

She was born Millicent Garrett in Aldeburgh, Suffolk.

As a suffragist, as opposed to a suffragette, she took a moderate line, but was a tireless campaigner.

Anyone can follow this easy peasy recipe for creating a small or big SHEvolution:

1) Get up
2) Take a step
3) Take another step
4) Take many more steps
5) Keep going no matter what

Note: works on yourself as well as the world.
