What Every Woman Should Know About What Makes Us Girls

As girls, we possess unique qualities and experiences that shape our lives and the world around us. From childhood to womanhood, we undergo a transformative journey that gives us the strength, resilience, and empathy required to navigate through life's challenges. In this article, we will explore the different aspects that make us girls and celebrate our shared experiences.

The Power of Empathy

One of the defining characteristics of girls is our innate ability to empathize with others. From a young age, we learn to understand and share the feelings of those around us, fostering strong connections and supporting one another. This emotional intelligence sets us apart and enables us to build deep and meaningful relationships.

Whether it's comforting a friend going through a tough time or offering a shoulder to cry on, our empathy shines through in our interactions. This ability to understand and relate to others is something that should be celebrated and cherished, as it greatly impacts our personal growth as well as the bonds we create with others.

Strength and Resilience

Girls possess an incredible strength and resilience that allows us to conquer challenges and persevere in the face of adversity. We have a unique ability to bounce back from setbacks, demonstrating our unwavering determination and grit.

Throughout history, women have shown incredible resilience in fighting for equality and breaking down barriers. Our ability to face challenges head-on and turn obstacles into opportunities propels us forward and helps us achieve our goals. As girls, we find strength both in our vulnerabilities and our triumphs.

Acceptance and Self-Love

Another beautiful aspect of being a girl is our ability to embrace ourselves fully and practice self-love. We understand the importance of accepting our flaws and loving ourselves unconditionally, recognizing that our uniqueness is what makes us shine.

By practicing self-care and nurturing our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, we become empowered to live authentically and pursue our passions. As girls, we inspire others by displaying self-confidence and encouraging them to embrace their true selves as well.

Endless Possibilities

Being a girl means having a world of endless possibilities at our fingertips. From education to career opportunities and beyond, there are no limits to what we can achieve. Society is evolving, and more doors are opening to girls and women, allowing us to make our mark in various fields.

As we work towards gender equality, it's crucial for us to embrace our potential and strive for greatness. We have the power to break down barriers and create a future where every girl is encouraged to dream big and pursue her passions.

What makes us girls is a combination of our unique qualities, experiences, and the shared journey we undertake. Our empathy, strength, acceptance, and limitless potential make us a force to be reckoned with. As we continue to navigate through life, let us celebrate what makes us girls and support one another in our individual and collective endeavors.

We cannot give what we do not have. So, if we do not love ourselves, or even if we are too obsessed with ourselves, how then can we love others? What Makes Us Girls examines the topic of self-worth through a modern cultural lens. Using examples from the author’s life experience and the life experiences of a variety of other girls, What Makes Us Girls analyzes seven of the most common issues that result in a destructive sense of self-worth: comparison, rejection, bullying, inauthenticity, purposelessness, betrayal and guilt. Every girl in the world, no matter our age or the country we are from, will have to face a battle for self-worth. Some of us will win and some of us will lose. But those of us who win will do so for two reasons: because we are able to see the battle for what it is, and even more importantly, because we have the right weapons to fight it.

“Faced with the very real suffering of today’s women and girls, it seems like society only reacts by promising women that they will inherit the earth, and also that nothing is their fault. Brittany’s book is a wonderful dose of tough love, which reminds us all that a sex that cannot take responsibility for anything, cannot achieve anything. This book feels like a summary of every time Brittany and I have laughed over coffee, or when she has held me while I cried and put my broken heart back together. I am so thrilled that so many other girls will have that experience. If I ever have a daughter, this book will be on her nightstand.“
