I think it's important for little girls growing up, and young women, to have one in every walk of life. So from that point of view, I'm proud to be a role model!
I was really raised by three women - my mom, and I have two older sisters, one nine years and one 11 years older - so I'm happy to have that many women in the house.
A woman in my local area decided to put on an opportunity for girls to come and play football for £2 each Sunday. That's how I started.
In the first two projects I've worked on professionally, I've been doing ensemble work with other young women, which I think is pretty cool. And they both were directed by and written by women. It's been a wonderful experience of real ensemble support and women lifting each other up, and I feel really lucky for that.
I found through my fan mail that women... really wanted a role model.
It's an honor to be the voice for girls who are not scared and who want to have someone to connect with.
Women, teenagers, we have to really empower each other.
Some women are great, and you wouldn't have been able to get to where you are without them, and others are doing what they can to undermine you.
Being surrounded by great women and amazing role models and good teammates allowed me to unfold and evolve into the person that I am today.
I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.
Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women.
I love the idea of women empowering other women. We need to come together and support one another and embrace one another.
Don't let the myths make you believe that women don't support other women.
The guys love us - they think we're sexy - but the girls take us seriously... I've always said that when I was a teenager growing up, I wish I had girls like Salt-n-Pepa to look up to. If I'd had someone I could relate to, a lot of things would probably be different.
I grew up in business at a time where there weren't very many female role models, and so in the early days, we wore little bow ties like the guys, and we talked about the Army even though we weren't in the Army. And the reality was that wasn't the right way to approach the business world.
I was raised by women.
Saks helps to empower women through how they look and feel - and Bumble wants to give all women a platform to connect with other empowered women, whether that's in dating, friendship, or business.
Young women should be telling stories of other young women. And if the superstar who is an amazing storyteller isn't a writer, that's totally fine, but we should get a young female writer in the room to work on that song with us.
I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister. They taught me to respect women in a way where I've always felt a strong emotional connection to women, which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor.
The six people who had the biggest impact on my life were all women. Had I been sexist, my life would have been far less fulfilling.
Simply stated, girls want role models and mentors.
The surest path to success is to surround yourself with brilliant women
A lot of time, I've had bosses who were women that were, like, described as battleaxes, and I loved 'em, man. We get on like houses on fire.
Carey Mulligan and Felicity Jones are two of my favorites. I'm not so much younger than them. I like that. It's kind of aspirational.
I am happy to join Selina Majors in providing women with a fully comprehensive training program designed specifically for them. I was trained by men, and while that worked for me, I know a more supportive community for women wanting to join our profession will increase the participation.
