Assalamualaikum to all..

Being a strong, independent woman doesn't necessarily require that you be a die-hard feminist. Rathers, it means learning to express who you are at a core , wheather u are shy and soft-spoken or load and assertive, without trying to fit a certain mold implied by your being a female.

Dont compare yourself to other women. while there is nothing wrong with having a female role modele to look up to, constantly feeling jealous of other women will leave you feeling horibble about yourself. though jealousy is natural to some degree, western society tends to exacerbate female jealousy through advertisements and films that feature unrealistic standards of beauty. The result is a culture of women who feel insecure and unhappy with their own bodies.

Don't base your happiness on being in a relationship. Having a man (or woman) to love should enhance your life, not define it. No matter how bad you may think you need a relationship, you must first learn to love yourself before you can even begin to love somebody else.

Don't feel obligated to follow fashion trends. Being an independent woman means dressing the way you want, regardless of what people around you are telling you to wear. Use fashion as a way to express your mood, your taste, and your creativity.

Stay educated. Being educated not only gives you the skills and knowledge you will need to pursue your career, it also makes you more well-respected by the people you encounter in your life

Take care of your body. Personal strength is manifested physically, mentally, and emotionally. If you want to be a strong, independent woman, you need look no further than your own body.
