I am thus, a provocative woman, incorrigible and unbearable to many, I am the result of my efforts and also of my suffering, because I have always refused to be a victim and a slave, what you see is all that I am, without lying: someone who loves himself and above all loves life.
This full and authentic vision of herself is not exactly 20 or 30 years old, in fact, we are now talking about the power of the 50s in women, it is obvious that each age has its achievements, its achievements and its beauties. The fifth decade is coming, many ties are breaking, many patterns. It is also understood that we should not be half of anyone?be happy.

On the other hand, another interesting aspect that is at its peak is that of the “alpha woman”. The presence of women has already conquered many spaces reserved until recently for men, they are influential, bringing courage, creativity and admirable skills to running. a business and the creation of a more empathetic work environment, in which they power staff for new achievements.
But one thing we all know is that the? Alpha woman?didn’t exactly germina in the 21st century. We are heirs to a lineage. The woman has always been that silent and anonymous warrior in her nearest contexts, for example, we thought of our grandmothers: admirable women who braided sadness in their hair and did everything for their children, for their home, for their family.
Brave ladies who never complained and who, when they looked at each other’s hands, tanned by the years and work, dreamed that one day their daughters would be what they are now, women who build their future with pride, in freedom?
Many cultures say that women represent “the light of life. “However, this glow is not in your eyes, but in your ovaries. In turn, it is curious to know how, in the cultural roots of peoples around the world, the figure of women was not only considered a “creator” but also a stimulating entity.
As Robert Graves explains in his book “The White Goddess” in both the ancient Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, the matriarchal cultures that worshipped a supreme goddess were very common. It was a deity associated with the Moon that rose with its own light in front of the rest. However, all these roots and echoes of remarkable beauty have been erased by the emergence of patriarchy.
Women and their anthropological and cultural nature disappeared from 400 BC. The Great Goddess, provocative, transformative and full of mysteries, is not dead: it has continued to exist in secret among many peoples, it has been transmitted from generation to generation, from woman to woman in the magical bond of women’s heritage.
It was whispered in silence that one day the woman was like the moon, that archetype that advances and grows through different cycles, through different changes. Someone with power over nature and who was once feared by this entity representing male power: the Sun.
These are difficult times. All these cultural legacies that others have tried to silence remain ours. These are testimonies that we now find in books like “The White Goddess?”Graves, or the women who run with the wolves of Clarissa Pinkola Estés. she emerges victorious, understands that her voice has strength and that she can and must challenge herself and the world itself.

Let’s face it: in the end, that moment always comes. That day when we get tired of saying “yes” when what we hear is a “no. “Perhaps this sense of total control indeed comes when one assumes one’s own maturity, when there is no longer fear of the passage of time and loneliness is not seen as an enemy, but as a space of growth, expansion and opportunity.
One thing we all know is that rebellious women are sometimes not well accepted, it is like a magnetic pulse that comes from the depths of the Earth and releases its strength to change reality, such a thing is received with fear. Because changes that seek to renew the old foundations are seen with concern.
Similarly, a woman of strong personality is always seen with suspicion, they call her selfish just because she stands firm in her convictions, in her values or because at some point she finally chooses to prioritize herself. Believe it or not, we continue, to be these witches, sometimes denied by our own gifts, but also envied by our many abilities.
It doesn’t matter if we are incorrigible, true to our roots, it doesn’t matter that some people don’t support us, we are who we are, proud people of our lineage, heirs to a provocative goddess who seeks to create their own paths of dignity and happiness.
