Sandra says, “The virtue of courage has not been perceived as feminine; this is a societal aliment.” If women claim their strength and courage, in what ways would that benefit society?
The more that women recognize the energy of their courage, the more society will break from its stereotypical understanding of courage as physical or daring. We learn from the models around us. When you explode the myth that women can be courageous, it gives women permission to be courageous. Everybody knows that role models help people achieve higher goals. With a wider definition and acceptance of courage as a feminine virtue, the greater the possibility of raising sensitive, concerned, caring, and open-minded children—both male and female—in a society that seems more and more to have lost its sense of the humane.
