Today marks International Women’s Day, a time to celebrate women and acknowledge the importance of female empowerment, especially in light of recent events that have sparked renewed interest in feminism. In a remarkable display of leadership, a fourth-grade student has taken the initiative to start a Female Empowerment Club, and we can’t help but want to join.
A delightful note shared on Twitter by user Mia, who is a teacher, was discovered tucked away under a student’s desk—presumably written by a young girl. The note reads, “Do you want to join a club for female empowerment? We are the leaders.”
Absolutely, yes! While we may not be ten years old, the need for empowerment is timeless. Sign us up for this inspiring movement! Plus, we have a prominent empowered woman backing us up.
Reflecting on Our Own Experiences
Let’s take a moment to reflect on our own fourth-grade experiences. Back then, I was busy belting out songs from “The Lion King” and “Mulan” while reading countless Babysitter’s Club novels and daydreaming about my favorite shows. The closest I got to activism was crafting posters for saving the whales—a trend that was all the rage in the ’90s.
Unlike my childhood, where discussions about feminism and empowerment were virtually nonexistent, today’s young girls are stepping into a world brimming with possibilities. They now engage in meaningful conversations about their roles in society, and we are more conscious of the media we consume, seeking out films and books with strong female characters who aim for more than just a fairy tale ending. We’re also encouraging our daughters to pursue interests in math and science, rather than dismissing them as “boys’ subjects,” a notion I often heard growing up.
Today’s girls possess a level of awareness and experience that we could only dream of at their age, and it’s truly inspiring. From daughters participating in marches alongside their mothers to watching films like “Hidden Figures,” girls are beginning to realize their potential. While there’s still work to be done, this student’s note indicates we’re definitely headed in the right direction.
