Women are empowered to control the destiny of the world. Throughout history, men have been the movers, shakers, war makers, and peace leaders. But behind every great man was a great woman; it wasn't his wife but his mother. As a mother raises her children, she is unknowingly sculpting the future. She sees a child who needs to be loved, cared for, and taught. As time goes on, the child grows into an adult character as a result of such upbringing.

Can you imagine what life would be like if Edison's mother wouldn't have encouraged his tinkering? I'm in the dark on that one. What if George Washington Carver's mother would have not let him play in the garden? I guess we wouldn't be eating Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches. Do you realize how many inventions were created by men and women to add to the comfort of their mothers? Well, the modern washing machine wasn't created because a man wanted his clothes cleaner, but because he didn't want to see his mother work so hard. Some of the great women in history wanted to change society because of the poor treatment their mothers suffered; just look at the wonderful advances in politics and medicine.

Takeaways
  • Many inventions were created by men and women to add to the comfort of their mothers.
  • Many of the leaders of the world have been deeply influenced by women.
  • There are so many maternal figures; but not only women play the mother role but also the father does

Take a moment and think about the many women in your own life who've comforted you, guided you on the right path, who encouraged a talent.

AC did something to my title. The title it is supposed to have is "Mothers, Women Empowered." There must have been some weird glitch.
