At SheSpeaks, we've been inspired by so many women, both those we know personally and those we've never met. Here are just a few of them:
The woman who has positively influenced me is my mom, Ying Lo. She has taught me to never doubt my intuition and to go for what I love to do. She is the reason I am 100% my unapologetic self and strive to do more with my life. - Gaonou
Aside from being an amazing author, J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) faced a lot of rejection and persevered to see her vision come to life. She gives back generously, speaks her mind and holds true to her beliefs. - Stephanie
She was an amazing woman who grew up in a time with gender role expectations, yet went on to receive her Master's and start various organizations, including women’s organizations. She was incredibly wise and always gave the best advice. - Melissa
When my oldest son was born, I met a group of amazing new moms. We started going out to dinner once a month and we haven't stopped for more than twelve years. These women have inspired me to be a better mom and a stronger person. They also taught me how important it is to support other women - and find women who support you. - Susan
Serena Williams is more than just an incredible tennis player. She also uses her platform for good and has become a great role model for all, but especially girls, sisters and now moms. Her passion for excellence is inspring. I love her new Nike video that says it all. - Carol

I think my mom influenced me to some extent
My mother is my inspiration she is someone that is there for me no matter what
My mom is such a huge inspiration for my entire life. She inspires me every day to keep smiling, keep being positive, and always keep striving for the best no matter what happens.
I wish every day that I could be like my mother. She was a true inspiration.
My mom and my 6th grade teacher, Miss Agnes Pipkin. Two strong women who used their individual talents to the best of their abilities and made my world a whole lot nicer place to be.
The women who inspires me the most is Nancy Pelosi she is such an intelligent, strong and sassy lady who doesn't seem to be afraid of anything.
My grandma who was always kind and compassionate

Women who are famous scientists inspire me.
Any women that has given birth and is a mother! That alone is worthy of praise and inspires me.
My best friends inspire me because they always remind me to live in the moment and are always there when I need them.
