" Maya Angelou once said, "I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life." Women are strong and intelligent, and they should be proud of their gender. Being a woman should be seen as a great thing and not as a disadvantage. I advocate for gender equality because everyone should feel proud about who they are. "
