                                              THE WORLD CLASS WOMAN
Gender is not a limiting cap. Greatness is not determined by sex. Mary Slessor was just about 28years old when she boldly influenced the Efik people of Calabar to stop the killing of twins.

Just imagine the towering heights, Beyoncé maintains above her contemporaries? She has over 17 Grammies to her name, with over 75million dollars in world record sales and many world tour that have always been sold out shows. She has become a global brand that is not about to slow down any moment soon. Which man will be bold enough to throw such a woman into the kitchen?
The first concert she ever saw was a Michael Jackson's concert. And after that time, she started dreaming that one day she will be in stadiums. Today, that dream is a reality. Her presence alone brings nations to a stand still. Presidents and kings of the most powerful nations of the world can pay any prize just to have her grace their occasions.

I could also see the iconic strength of a woman in the lines written by Hillary Clinton in Clinton's 2004 memoir " Living History". She said " the most difficult decisions I have made in my life were to stay married to Bill and to run for senate from New York.....I knew I wanted our marriage to last if it could, because I loved Bill and I realised how much I cherished the years we had spent together.....I had no doubt that I could construct a satisfying life by myself and make a good living....But I hoped Bill and I could grow old together". Clinton did not just stop at being a lawyer, a governor and president's wife but she went on to become a senator, secretary of states and now on her way to becoming the first female president of The United States of America! What a woman!
There are key tenets I could get from the lives of these awesome women:

IT IS NOT A MAN'S WORLD - The dominion mandate by God was not given to Adam alone but to Eve as well. The bible says " the earth is the Lord's" and not " the earth is the man's"

CULTURE IS NOT A UNIVERSAL LAW - The fact that certain culture does not permit certain things does not mean it is final. Malala Yousafzai stood against the stance limiting female education in Pakistan. Rosa Park resisted the black and white divide in commuter buses in America. Helen Johnson Sirleaf became the first female president of an African nation in 2006.

LIFE BEEN TOUGH IS NOT JUST SECTIONAL - Life generally is tough. It is not because you are a woman things seems tougher for you. At least you can see that Hillary Clinton's rise has not being without very stiff oppositions and terrible situations?

GOD IS NOT GENDER - SAVVY - Divine force will not back you up because you are a woman. But anybody that is set on a just course gets heaven's support. This therefore means that being a woman does not put you in a disadvantaged position.

EXPERTISE IS NOT A MAN'S AFFAIR - One look is enough to tell you that Beyoncé and Hillary are experts in their chosen field. The world certainly would not celebrate these pair if they were mediocres?

I know you so much enjoy spending your husband's money, driving round town and hanging out with the ladies, which is all good. But the world truly desires women that would join the likes of Beyoncé and Hillary Clinton to become a very strong influence in the world.
