"Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come." Proverbs 31:25 (ESV)

Women! We are stronger than we get credit for. Women are simply brave. We are weak on the outside, and dynamite on the inside - what a compelling mix!

How do women manage to take it all, do it all, and give all - giving life to generations?
