The Emma Way

[emmaway97-blog]

“If Eleanor were the hero of some book, like THE BOXCAR CHILDREN or something, she’d try. If she were Dicey Tillerman, she’d find a way.

She’d be brave and noble, and she’d find a way.

But she wasn’t. Eleanor wasn’t any of those things. She was just trying to get through the night.”

GOOOSH why am i such a huge crier? And NO u can’t fucking blame hormones for that too.

The reason I’m crying is that, this book was different, the romance was different, that cool kinda romance, mashy sam7ini’s romance…. me who thought that I was immune to these YA romance novels, I didn’t even think I’d be caught up this much with the story,  I never thought I’d end up crying after reading a contemporary YA romance.

And gosh should we discuss that ending? Rainbow did u have to make me cry AGAIN?!!!!

This was by the way the second book I read by Rainbow, and I was obsessed with this one too, as mush I was with the first one “Fangirl”, I think I liked this one better, it was more dramatic, pointing and catchy. It had all the ingredients: Innocent relationship, established on good music, comics, great movies, trust… it was not dirty, or manipulative, not even sickening or immoral.

And with every single word, every single event I thought my heart would burst in flames. I was actually staling so I wouldn’t  finish it in no time like I usually do with good books.

Just go read it, I can’t think of a proper review. I’ll just put on The Smiths and  cry here in the corner.

A little late, but I had to pay homage to an inspiring woman/artist today! Hope all my fellow women had a great day :)

There’s no one like Frida Kahlo

Happy International Women’s Day! 

To celebrate we’ll be sharing, throughout the day, a number of artworks by women in the Ashmolean’s collections. 

Lotus, 1980 By Fang Zhaoling (1914–2006)

Fang Zhaoling was a leading figure among women artists in 20th-century China. Born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, she travelled and lived in many different places, including Oxford, and exhibited her paintings widely in the United States, Europe and East Asia. She continued to work as a well-established artist into her eighties.

Here’s just a few inspirational women that I love and want to celebrate this international womens day

JK Rowling - Author of one of the most iconic book series of our time. Also Twitter queen of clapbacks 

Priyanka Chopra - Bollywood star paving her way through Hollywood. Is open about sexism within the industry.

Viola Davis - Incredible talent and the first black actress to win an Oscar, Emmy and Tony award. 

Ibtihaj Muhammed - A black, Muslim Olympian. Already iconic. First woman in hijab to represent USA.

Monica Singh - Activist who survived an acid attack during her college years. She has found empowerment through her scars and is helping others do the same.

Happy Women's day. Here's your reminder that:

It’s okay to be a stay-at-home-mom/housewife. It’s okay to work full time. It’s okay to not want kids or to not want to get married. It’s okay be “girly” and love the color pink and wear dresses. It’s okay to not like those things. It’s okay to be cool with showing off your body, no matter what kind of body you have. It’s okay to be more conservative and to prefer to cover yourself up. It’s okay to be LGBT+. ITS OKAY TO USE THE BATHROOM THAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE USING AND THAT BEST FITS YOUR INDIVIDUAL GENDER THAT ONLY YOU GET TO DECIDE! What’s not okay is to judge a woman for the way she lives her life and the way she shows her own femininity. It’s international Women’s Day and I support All Women and their lifestyles. 👭👭👭👭👭💖

Today on International Women’s Day let’s not forget that 1 in 3 Mexican women will be a victim of sexual violence and that on average there is 7 reported femicides every day, stress on reported because many crimes against women do not go reported. And from the crimes that are reported roughly only one quarter of them are investigated and less than 2% lead to sentencing.

Happy International Women’s Day to all of my fellow women. The women who are still figuring out their lives, where they want to go, what they want to do and are still figuring out themselves. It’s okay, take your time.

Happy International Women’s day to the stay-at-home mothers, the women who work full time to support themselves/their families, the women going to school for the thing they love, the full time students, the part time students, the ones who cannot afford to go to school just yet, but plan to. Even the girls who don’t want to go to college! We see you, we’re proud of all of you. It doesn’t matter what you do.

Happy International Women’s day to all the trans women, the asexual, bisexual, lesbian, pansexual women. to all of the women in the LGBTQ+ Community. You’re valid and you are loved.

Happy International Women’s Day to all women of color, all women of different religions, all women of a different ethnicity. You’re lovely and you’ve given us all so much. Thank you.

Happy International Women’s Day to all of the chubby girls, the skinny girls, the girls with a big booty, the girls with small boobs, the short girls, the tall, the pear shaped, apple shaped, hour glass shaped, hairy or hairless. To any girl with a mix of these attributes. Beauty comes in so many sizes. Look at yourself. You’re beautiful.

Happy International Women’s Day to the tattooed girls, the pierced girls, the girls with funky hair and eclectic style/tastes. Be yourself, be individual.

Here’s to women taking no shit, to not changing themselves for anyone but themselves. Here’s to women who speak up for themselves and for others, and here’s to the women who haven’t yet found their voices. Here’s to women knowing what they want, to the women chasing their dreams, whatever they may be. Here’s to the hairdressers, the engineers, the lawyers, the secretaries, the university students and the high school drop outs. Here’s to the survivors, and the ones that didn’t make it. Here’s to those who are women in a mans body, to those who are transitioning, those who have transitioned, and those that dream of it. Here’s to the girls who like girls, who like boys, who like everyone or no one at all. Here’s to those in burqas and niqabs, headscarves and hair flying free, those with skin the colour of chalk all the way to those with the colour of chocolate. Here’s to every woman, everywhere. Here’s to #InternationalWomensDay. Because if you can look a woman in the eye and tell her she doesn’t deserve as much of the world as you do, you’re wrong.

Many of the participants in our #AmericanWomen project told us what it means to them to be a woman in the U.S. right now. They spoke with pride about the communities they came from, reflected on progress that has already been made, and acknowledged the work that is still to come. 

See the full project.

Since it’s International Women’s Day, I would like to put the spotlight on a very underrated classic Hollywood lady: Hedy Lamarr. Not only was she a famous actress, she was also an inventor who helped invent the system behind Wi-fi and Bluetooth. That’s right: she was not only a beautiful and talented actress, she was also highly intelligent and inventive.  But Hedy was also a strong woman: she was married to a controlling and rich husband and had to disguise herself and flee from her native Austria to get away from him. Afterwards she reinvented herself as a glamorous actress and stunned Hollywood, where she was called ‘the most beautiful woman alive’.

Happy International Women’s Day

Yes, they’re sexy, smart, and powerful. They’re also very inspirational and brave as hell. They could probably kick your ass….actually they would kick your ass. Let us take a moment to appreciate these women and women’s wrestling. Although some are no longer with us and others don’t actually “wrestle” they all have a part in making women’s wrestling great. You cannot deny their impact (some more than others) in the WWE and women’s wrestling. Whether you like them or not, they ALL had (and currently have) a role in making wrestling what it is today and what it will be in the future. LOVE AND SUPPORT WOMEN AND WOMEN’S WRESTLING.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!! 

Here’s to all the women throughout history who have ruled empires, and raised families. For those who fought to survive, and were looked down upon. For the women whose names we know, and for those we don’t. We will remember.

Reminder to be inclusive and intersectional today. Support ALL women, no matter the colour of their skin, their nationality, the shape of their body, their physical and/or mental abilities, their religious beliefs, their political beliefs, their sexuality or their gender identity.
