Dear RSFBPW Members and Guests,
May is a beautiful time to be grateful for the amazing mothers in our lives. And it's also a time to reflect on other inspiring, empowering women who have come before us who have paved the way to inspire the 21st woman to live her dreams, passion, and purpose.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005) "I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move." Also know as "the first lady of civil rights", the African-American Rosa Parks was a pioneer of civil rights in a racially segregated Alabama in 1950s. In 1955, she refused to give away her seat to a white passenger in a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, thereby, disobeying the bus driver's orders. This act of hers sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott that crippled the state capital's public transport system.
Coco Chanel (1883-1971) "Fashion fades, only style remains the same." Chanel was a daughter to a laundrywoman and a market stall holder. Before becoming one of the greatest fashion designers the world has ever seen, she was a club singer and a hat maker.
George Sand (1804-1876) "You can bind my body, tie my hands, govern my actions; you are the strongest, and society adds to your power; but with my will, sir, you can do nothing."
George, a 19th century French novelist and essayist was a socialist. She 'shocked' the high society circles by wearing male clothing in public. As a socialist, she started her own newspaper that was published in workers' co-operative. The secret word is empower.
Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)"If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
"Margaret was loved and hated equally for some of her controversial policies but she never gave up. She was known as the 'Iron lady' for her uncompromising politics and leadership style. From being a grocer's daughter to graduating from Oxford University to becoming a bannister, she went on to becoming Britain's first and to date, only female Prime Minister elected in 1979 and the country's 5th longest serving leader.
One of my personal favorites!
Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003) "If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun!"
Katherine was known for playing strong-willed women in her film roles. She won 4 academy awards for Best actress, the most an actress has ever won. Her unconventional non-conformist, masculine style choices made wearing trousers acceptable to women, which was largely considered a taboo at that time.
We've come a long way, baby, with our fashion and politics and everything in between! Let's continue to embrace our femininity and our wisdom and purpose to inspire future generations.
Embrace your dreams,
Gina Ruby, RSFBPW President
"To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything be more fun?" ~ Katharine Graham

A Gentle Reminder about Spamming RSFBPW members
|
Members and visitors must individually ask each member for permission to place them on any form of mass communication-email blasts, newsletter lists, U.S. Mail lists or group texts. Without each member's individual permission, we consider this type of communication to be an act of spamming. To build long-term relationships with members please write personal notes and emails first and after developing rapport, ask these members only for permission to place them on your mailing list. Thank you for your cooperation. |
Have a clear and concise message. Screen real estate is valuable on mobile, so keep the content here simple and focus on the essentials. Think about the goal of your email. Do you want people to shop online, come into the store, share a sale with friends via Facebook - or maybe you just want them to read an article on your website? Whatever your goal, it's important to make sure you have one before hitting send.
