"There’s something about a woman’s rage that feels very old, very primal. A man’s rage may be more physical, but a woman’s rage is born from centuries of violence. It calls across cultures. It calls across race. It is old, and hungry, and dark, and does not know its power. Yet."

^World Champion, a mom, and powerhouse.

^Breaking the status quo, and being one of the first openly gay female athletes. Still a fighter for equality and encouraging women to break the glass ceiling

^Encouraging little girls that it's okay to love and play futbol, especially in her country and a fighter for women's equality in sports.

^Breaking barriers in a sport, to be thought only for men. Anyone can coach.

^Lily Parr, for those who don't know. She played midfielder for the Dick, Kerr Ladies FC. A womens soccer club in England in the 1920s before it was illegal for women to play soccer in England

^The spark of Women's soccer all over the world. A momentous victory that changed not only the lives of those who played but little girls watching who had dreams to be up there, that stepping into a soccer field was a girls birthright.

^Playing under pressure, confident, unapologetic, loud and relentless. Not our U.S Womens National Soccer Team, but our U.S National Soccer Team because Ladies and gentlemen. These ladies are known as America's team!

And other inspiring women, who deserve the mention. I could keep going but pictures have a limit unfortunately.
