A Goddess is the embodiment of power. How might she use her power? Feminine strength includes the qualities of compassion, love, the ability to heal, to forgive, and to connect. 

What is your definition of feminine power? Your answer may be revealed by your mind, body, and spiritual connection. 

Women of today, are literal Superwomen. They are experts at navigating work, coordinating childcare, cooking, cleaning, shopping- they do it all, while maintaining sanity. Have you ever struggled to open a sealed jar? Give that jar to a mom, and she’ll pop that that sucker open with one hand, while carrying a baby in the other. It’s like mom’s have super-power strength. I give big kudos to all the moms out there. 

Femininity, in a cultural context, is the set of behaviors that are taught by society. Being feminine, is the role, one would play. What is the traditional feminine role? History records women as followers of their female intuition, highly emotional, nurturers and supportive. Women were known to be the gentle,  harmonious, empathic, and sensitive. What they didn’t document is that women were also clever, smart, and ambitious. 

Queens and empresses reigned over their respective territories. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt is one of the best known female rulers. In Greek mythology, Helen was the catalyst for the Trojan War. Wars over women- Now that’s the kind of girl power I am talking about...the power to topple an empire.

History has been greatly influenced by women. Some women sought sole power and control. Others co-led with men. Some women pretended to act and dressed like men, so they could partake in activities that women were not to, like fight in battle. Women maintained a sphere of influence, although they are largely absent in historical records.
