Woman  Crush Wednesday

Woman Crush Wednesday

by Marlies Dekkers
Some women can inspire me in such a way that you can maybe even call it a little crush. Want to know which ladies have this effect on me? Follow my #WomanCrushWednesdays on Twitter.

All women are amazing to me, but some women are as mind-blowing, that they have the ability to inspire others. My #WomanCrushWednesdays is dedicated to these ladies. Despite a variety of obstacles they reached insane levels of success. Whether it be in business, in science, in sports, in music, in art or in worldwide leadership. These women are all examples of the modern day feminist; strong and independent women who step up as role models, demanding the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.

My WomanCrush this week..
