Women are fantastic,
intelligent, magical creatures of light and love. Well, most of us
anyway, most of the time. As fabulous and magnificent as we can be,
there are times when women say and do the wrongest things – myself
included! I’ll be the first to admit that as a woman, I say a lot of
things that men probably find absurd. It’s not as if I do it
intentionally. I don’t exactly go out of my way to complicate things for
the opposite sex. It’s just that our minds are wired differently, in as
much as our role in the society is different than the guy’s. It is
almost as if women have their own language, a hidden culture of implied
complexity and severity, and it’s the job of men to decode us.

I have been single for
thirteen years. Let me say that again, in case you missed it, my
singleness is thirteen years old. It’s funny, because there are actual
humans of the same age who are getting into relationships and here I am,
tap-tap-tapping away on a keyboard, sipping my tea. A few weeks ago, I

significant others. When youʼve been single for as long as I have,
third-wheeling or fifth-wheeling is nothing new.

From Amelia Earhart to
Florence Nightingale to Mother Teresa, we love women whose stories have
not only become inspiration but have left an indelible legacy in the
world. Society would not have evolved as quickly and rigorously if
weren’t for the pioneering efforts and actionable examples set by
empowered women of substance, strength, and character. As Eleanor
Roosevelt says, “We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each
experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face… we must do
that which we think we cannot.”
Filipino and
non-Filipino, those who are still with us and those who have passed,
here are several women who have looked at fear straight in the face and
managed to make possible what seemed to be irrefutably otherwise.
