And these are your only two options?

How many times do you think She has looked at a no-win scenario in her life and said those exact words?

Growing up she learned she could either be a mother or a wife. Trying to help the war effort she learned she could either be a nurse or work in weapons production. In 1946 she was told she could either become a glorified secretary or find a job outside intelligence. She spends her entire life finding ways to circumvent the box. She's looked society in the face, and over and over again she's challenged it, questioned it, and outsmarted it, even triumphed over it. And it's because she has the audacity, always, to raise her eyebrow and refuse to be silenced, and because she isn't ever too afraid to ask the question that matters to her most: and these are your only two options?

This is glorious because, we'll.. I know women like this. We all do. We all know women who look at the shit choices life has given them and say: Are these my only options? I will make my own then. Not just this she also inculcated those traits into a man whom she brought up as a Godmother. She not just fought for her but also tried to inculcate the gender sensitivity into the next generation for smoothening up the life for women in future. 

She is none other than my fav and my fav's Godmother, Peggy 'I know my value and anyone else's opinion doesn't matter' Carter 

And this is why Peggy is my fav. She is kick ass and brilliant and walks into a room and everyone turns. But also she is a hero that I can relate to, believe in, strive to become. She looks at the world around her and says, I want better,I deserve better and she changes the rules of the game. And while she's doing it, she'll inspire you to do the same for yourself. 

Now that's a hero l'll follow into battle any day, because she's real and if I watch her closely, she'll teach me how to lead the next

time.
