Angelia Flournoy | 2022

Abstract

Women have led since the beginning of time. Their instrumental impact has spanned decades, and today, women continue to break glass ceilings. Women’s recognition days or a month do not capture the many achievements. They have fought and clambered to the top to accomplish what many thought unimaginable.

This manuscript will take the reader on a journey from the beginning of some women’s struggles overcoming obstacles to the modern-day ways of life. Women have fought for a challenging transformation carrying a lit torch for equality in the workforce, society, and personal lives. Ultimately, readers will walk away from this manuscript with a sense of inspiration and motivation to continue to pursue their passions regardless of how big they may appear.

Women paved the way to embrace diversity, inclusion, and equality. Women fought to gain equal footing with men and were willing to work exceedingly and abundantly to be treated equally with opportunities to lead and reach the highest levels of success. This narrative inquiry will provide insight into women who paved the way for opportunities for everyone and the barriers that they overcame so that others may pursue their dreams.

Holistically, sacrifices for the better have happened for women to be able to have their dreams come true and rise to the heights of their imaginations. This manuscript will remind readers never to give up on their journey and encourage everyone to live boldly. People can change the world – the torch is passed continuously to ensure a better future for everyone in generations to come again and again.
