What is Woman?

"What is woman? Who defines what a woman is, who a woman is, and how a woman carries out her life? The answer lies in every single one of us, in the divine feminine power that sleeps within us all, both women and men. It is only when we look into ourselves and scope out the things that make us...us, that we can really see what defines a woman. It is not her physical appearance, or her anatomical parts. Rather, it lies in the parts you cannot see but feel instead. It’s in the history that flows through the blood of every woman, the uniqueness that carves out bodies where none is similar to the other; it lies in their influences, the people around them, which further define them, in their souls. A woman is complex. Not one is the same as the next. But what all women share is that beautiful complexity, coming together to create someone internally and externally original, important, heard, and powerful. "-Gabriela
