2016 was een bewogen jaar waarin de een na de andere vrouwelijke celeb krachtige woorden liet horen om anderen een hart onder de riem te steken. Zo hield Michelle Obama een inspirerende speech over de vrouwenhaat van Donald Trump en liet Hillary Clinton haar stem horen toen Trump er met de overwinning vandoor ging.
Dit vonden wij de krachtigste quotes van vrouwelijke celebs van het afgelopen jaar:
1/ Hillary Clinton tijdens haar ‘verliezers’ speech
“I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday, someone will — and hopefully sooner than we might think right now. And to all of the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.”
2/ Michelle Obama tijdens de openingsavond van DNC
“Barack and I explain that when someone is cruel, or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level. No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.”
3/ Shailene Woodley tijdens haar speech bij de Environmental Media Association Awards
“What’s really important is standing up and making our voices so loud that they have no choice to ignore us.”
4/ Jennifer Aniston in een betoog op Huffington Post
“We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone.”
5/ Madonna bij de Billboard Women in Music Awards
“Women have been so oppressed for so long, they believe what men have to say about them… As women, we have to start appreciating our own worth and each other’s worth.”
6/ Beyoncé na het in ontvangst nemen van haar award bij de CFDA
“We have the opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or magazine cover and see her own reflection…You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower, and to show people how to embrace their complications, and see the flaws, and the true beauty and strength that’s inside all of us.”
7/ Emma Watson tijdens een speech bij de UN General Assembly
“The university experience must tell women that their brain power is valued, and not just that, but that they belong among the leadership of the university itself. “
8/ Amal Clooney bij de 17th Annual Texas Conference for Women
“The worst thing that we can do as women is not stand up for each other, and this is something we can practice every day, no matter where we are and what we do.”
9/ Ashley Graham op Instagram
“People come on my page and body shame me because I’m too big, because I’m too small, because I’m not good enough for their standards. But at the end of the day, I’m good enough for me.”
