50 Things Women Wish They Could Do: A master list of the notoriously impossible, but yet, achievable desires of women by BRIAN OBODEZE
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09Z9VGC8R | 120 pages | EPUB | 0.17 Mb
Being female in the world of today is a struggle; from trying to conform to what society deems "acceptable as a woman" to the natural "hand-me-downs" inherited genetically and culturally. Women have always felt like the bottom-feeders or the "weaker sex" having so many physical, mental, and emotional challenges that they wish they could alter. The book "50 things women wish they could do" isn't designed as a reminder of your limitations but rather as a statement that these challenges either have solutions or are hidden strengths that are yet untapped because most females are unaware of the existence of these inner strengths.
