NASTY WOMAN - Women Who Break the Rules
The book "Quotes for Nasty Women", written and edited by Linda Picone, empowering wit and wisdom from some powerful women throughout the history.
When Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton (American Politician), "such a nasty woman" during a political debate in 2016, he was trying to degrade or demean her. But some woman out there decided to accept this title as a badge of honor and used it as a tool for empowerment. So, the concept of this book "QUOTES OF NASTY WOMAN - EMPOWERING WISDOM FROM WOMAN WHO BREAK THE RULES" comes from this scenario.
Some nasty women are loud, some are quiet. Some work hard for success, some goes deep into it to achieve it. Some work behind the scenes, some stand in front of the crowd. This book is a collection of some empowered quotations for, by and from such nasty women who belong to centuries of past, we can say late eighteenth or nineteenth. Each and every quotation gives a strong insight of what today's women should be knowing the fact that they are not less than anyone. Their voices are different, their voices are bold, their voices are audible through their wonderful sayings, and they are worth getting into them.
Some of the quotations that i love the most and I am sure you will also like them are: -
A Gentleman opposed to their enfranchisement once said to me - "Women have never produced anything of any value to the world". I told him, the chief product of the women had been the men and left it to him to decide whether the product was of any value.
~Anna Howard Shaw
I would have girls regard themselves not as adjectives, but as nouns.
~Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Always be more than you appear and never appear to be more than you are.
~Angela Merkel
Reputation is what others think about you. What's far more important is character, because that is what you think about yourself.
~Billie Fean King
Do your best, one shot at a time, and then move on.
~Nancy Lopez
Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.
~Nora Ephron
This book is no doubt a perfect and definite collection of quotes which are fun reading and getting to know about the voices of such strong women who have actually fought for themselves. The freedom that we all are experiencing in today's life, is because of the fact that someone, somewhere fought for all this, otherwise things would have never been like this.
It's a pocket- friendly, interesting and fun-loving book which reclaims the "nasty" title or badge and tells us that we can learn a lot from and appreciate our sisters who have fought some sought of similar battles before. Its great if we all get aware of these facts and build a strong mindset about ourselves too.
To all the strong and lovely women out there, "Don't treat yourself less than anyone, you are more superior than everyone".
