Yet when we look around not only successful female are the ones who should be crowned independent or confident. And from my understanding, apart from the well known and successful females, I define a female who had gone through thick or thin, broken and shattered while having nobody's motivation she is able to get back up, that girl whose dream has not been fulfilled and the failure does not stop her, a single mother who lived for her children, that woman who had faced rejection a lot of times but still try on. And most of all an independent woman is a woman who is blessed with virtue to stand up for what it is right and for the well being of a community and who can sail along with her man without an iota of fake feminism. A confident woman is a woman who has the emotional maturity in all prevailing times of hardship and happiness. A woman who would never lose her self identity and dignity and who is a living example of the noble cause of a woman's right and pride ...

For me, every single women is independent whether she chose to prioritise her career or not, whether she chose to marry or not and whether she chose to love herself more or love those around her most. For an independent women, her own will be of significance. She won't allow herself to be Misandry on the name of feminism. She won't look down on other women for their choices. She won't misunderstood her confidence with haughtiness. She'll be anabashed for accepting her flaws and most of all she won't consider herself a gem among stones. She'll be sure that she's a gem but among a vast treasure without being insecure.

My idea of a confident independent woman is raising up 8 kids without complaining and yet giving them the best education and moral values which I found in my dear supermom. She never asked for helped even though people would point fingers at her for giving birth to so many kids but she took up the challenge and raised us up to be confident and independent like her. Being an independent woman means that I am comfortable doing things on my own. It means I speak my mind. When someone disrespects me, I dont let them get away with it.

A mother, daughter,wife,sister, administrator,teacher,creator,and a queen of my family..I am a person.courageous,strong, emotional and understand my children and teach them how to live life to the fullest,be there for them when they need me.etc.
I have hope,inner beauty and several super powers.If I fall I will rise up even stronger because I am a survivor not a victim
With every challenge I grow mentally and emotionally.
When I look in the mirror I see a face that I recognise as my own,my inner belief,the confidence I feel inside,shining spirit,my strength and the result of my own choices.
I have brain and know how to use it.
I give love and I am a natural caretaker.I eat,get enough rest,exercise daily and remain true to myself and I play the role in the sociology economic development of the society.

Fortunately, there are things we can do to build ourselves up and keep our self-esteem going strong. I recommend a regular confidence practice, as it tends to help you be more resilient to the ups and downs in life, so you can respond from your best self even when the chips are down.I enjoy traveling, the occasional spa retreat, running, yoga, and time with friends. Each of us has activities that restore our energy and positivity. Maybe for you its gardening, or time with a pet, or participation in a favorite hobby like playing an instrument, canoeing, or taking part in a sport you love.
Whatever it is, dont think of it as a hobby that you do only when you have time, because thats the best way to push it straight out of your life. Instead, pencil it into your weekly schedule and then enjoy the confidence-boosting benefits

We all have heard about "NARI SHAKTI" but when a woman wears this ornament of freedom, spirit, fearlessness then she drives herself on the path of independence. They learn from past, think about future but live only in present like a nightingale who lights everyone's life with her beautiful voice or can make someone's life worst then hell if she has took her "DURGA ROOP" of indian history.
An independent woman do what her heart wants to do instead of thinking about so called "LOG KYA KAHENGE" and fly in the sky with her utmost power.

Being an independent woman means you support other women. You dont view them as your competition. You dont judge them based on what they are wearing or what career they are pursuing. You hand them tampons in bathrooms. You compliment their hair. You help them get home safely. You treat other women as your teammates.

From the day she is born till she grows up she is ingrained daily in bits and pieces about her journey from a girl to womanhood and what is being expected from her. Directly or indirectly she is told to observe her limits and freedom and in doing so she grows up to be an educated and intellectual human being nurturing all the qualities gifted to her by the Almighty.
In this journey and within that invisible circle of limitations and restrictions she sets her benchmark of being an independent and confident woman, where she has management skills of a perfect homemaker, an innovative entrepreneur, and a career-oriented ambitious person playing all the society set roles for her, thereby becoming pillar to her family in terms of office going woman or a house maker.
One who achieves independence confidently within a measured niche is truly a strong and independent woman as per my definition.

A strong women is raised from enduring alot of storms , From being nothing to everything she proves nobody can come across her way . She will be alone but will be as stronger as an army , she is an army in herself .
A strong women is someone who once was a girl with alot of dreams but nobody to support , where she build her own ladder to reach her dreams in any condition .
Inspite of all the stroms she would fall and again stand like a warrior with the courage as her armour and her believe in herself as a shield , she would fight the world alone and would be as if nothing happend.
A strong independent women is someone who is built on her own

She is a warrior. The armor worn brightly shined though it had never seen a battle ground. Then why call her a warrior the voice asked "for she has always been a coward with a beautiful mask" Indeed there wasn't any battles fought, neither there was bloodshed, nor a life lost. But still she is a warrior For she fought no land or men, But the demons within her den. Sacrs and victories, fame and pain All lie hidden beneath her vien. She still fights unspoken battles and rejoices uncounted victories. All of this with a smile, that shines as a brighthly lit asiel. Now tell me, isn't she a warrior? Indeed she is.

Women only a single word defines the confident and independent both words. Women are confident you can see by the example of a marriage that a boy go with whole group to a girl's house but after marriage she goes single. She can also be independent but society pull them backward. Everywhere WOMEN EMPOWERMENT is a firing topic to be discuss , all are saying that women need to be empower but I want to say that women are already strong. We have to give them only their own Rights and Respect. Then our society become a better place to live. Why all time we discuss for a woman not a man because we remind them that they are weak ,they are weak that they are not. From the birth Everyone remind us that we are a girl .Yes we are girl,we are soft ,but not weak. Lastly I would like to say that all women are confident and independent so please support us and respect.

Now, the question arises that how modern time women will become independent?? The answer is a bit crucial. Like by awaring them about the so-called "women issues" is not sufficient.
The awareness that women need to be in their life is started from education, education is a little step of the journey of an independent woman if education is allotted to him, then she will absolutely become aware, independent, confident and the one who can fight against the wrong.
This is the real meaning of becoming independent, according to me.
Pooja jayswal Mar 17, 2020
I firmly believe that the immense strength a woman possess in her is beyond everything.
When a woman desires to do anything she rises with all her might and accomplishes it.
A confident woman never leaves any stone unturned. Whatever the society tags her as" Abla Nari" but she is the creator of the universe. God has given her immense power to fight all odds and come out always with colours.A woman who carries her child for months in her womb is definitely born to create wonders in her life.She will live her dreams and make them all possible with all her might, be it for herself, her children or any of her loved once.I believe that sometimes we fail to know the tremendous power and potential we have within us.A confident and an independent woman of today has shine and sparkle in her eyes ,and she leaves her touch wherever she goes.From her house to her work place a confident woman leaves her Sparkle forever.
I salute feminist attitude and strength in all the independent and confident women of today
Shilpa Menon Mar 16, 2020
A little girl who walks miles to reach her school everyday, a young lady who relocates to a different city for her job away from her parents for the first time, a young mother who knew nothing about motherhood yet raises and cares for her child with all her heart, a grandmother who longed to spend time with her grandkids but had to be living away from them with a pleasing smile on her face all the time are all strong and independent women. If we look at the women around us, everyone is strong and independent in one way or the other. A woman becomes strong and independent when she starts believing in herself.

I am not only self sufficient and confident woman but empowering other women to be the same I aspire to be a social worker and teacher for weaker section of our society since my childhood. So I decided to take free classes in the park of my colony for slum kids or other under privileged children around. I not only teach them but make them aware of personal hygiene,good and touch,water conservation etc.We celebrate festivals together and plant some saplings every now and then . Gradually people start joining hands with me and helping in my efforts. Now we teach the women of poor families about family planning,nutrition food during pregnancy and save & educate girl child . It gives me immense pleasure and sense of contentment that I am doing my bit for the upliftment of society .

Born as a princess
Cared like that until age to marry
But the road shifts to career
The power of her knowledge convinces her mom
Her loves for growth convinces her dad
Her character attracts men,but she accepts none
Fell in love with career and the man of his life
Works smartly with hardly to balance it
Every decision changed her life,
Only cause she persisted because of confidence
Balanced her career and love life
Only to have a independent life,where
She wants to care her both the families and her own
Make her family dependent and
live a ever lasting interdependent life with her man
The dream she dreamt all through life.
Nidhi Khandelwal Mar 14, 2020
With all the responsibility, she is very wise.
Multitasking is her forte,
But not as easy as she potrays.
As she experiences new things,
She becomes more powerful with her own wings.
Noone can stop her to achieve her dreams,
But It's never easy as it seems.
She is fighter and fought her own battles till the end,
In the hearts of the people she will always remain.
Keerthana Mar 13, 2020
She will always feel glorious...
Struggling or giggling , may it be anything
She will always feel compassionate...
Spicy or deity , may it be anything
She will always be the rockstar...
Each of these women , who live in their own ways , making this world a better place to smile at , are THE CONFIDENT AND INDEPENDENT WOMAN!

Only a man could have said these words - who else William Shakespeare.
Of all the words he chose fraility - dictionary meaning "the condition of being weak and delicate".
Had Shakespeare been alive now I would have loved to understand from him as to how he could call his own mother frail who gave birth to such a literary genius? I would asked him how he could call his own characters frail - Cordelia from King Lear who loved her dad and was his only support when his own elder daughter were against him? All his women characters are strong, carry there heart on their sleeves, head held high, even when doing wrong they do it with conviction. How much stronger do you expect a human being to be? Enduring childbirth pain and loving the very pain giver - her child, bearing being ignored by family and own kids still loving the kids, being raped and killed still longing to live. It's time to change the saying to:
Strength thy name is WOMAN.
cshall Mar 13, 2020
She never let any of her fears and weaknesses shrink her strength. She might not be the strongest and most intelligent but she is never afraid of taking her first step .
Now a days a job with an average salary helps a lot but it's not the money that makes you independent and confiedent. Sometimes you let yourself bounded by vague limits set up by your own self . When you win over that self of yours which keeps giving you an inferior feeling , stopping you from expressing your self to one hundred percent only then you are said to be a confiedent and independent woman.

She is into improving and developing the society, improving communities, and promoting citizen participation.she is committed to society empowering girls to make them understand the value of sport. This dialogue perfectly suits on her cause when she decided it means she can and she will do it for the society to make it better place to live. A very well written dialogue which describes a confident woman...from Mardani movie : Kuch karne ke liye kaayde ki nahi ... iraade ki zaroorat hoti hai .

Every woman is a rainbow with various shades of life filled with emotions which she acknowledges and learns to deal with as she grows from being a tiny little baby to a grown-up woman. A confident woman learns her lessons of life from mistakes she does, she knows her mistakes are not the definition of her identity or her scars which circumstances or people give her, she is that pure dewdrop which forms when everything around her is dark and gloomy and patiently waits for sunlight to show up so that she can shine despite darkness which life gives her.
Independence is not just financially, but independence is knowing you can follow your thoughts, knowing your actions are not dictated by societal norms but they are dependent on your happiness' quotient, it is accepting that we are all designed differently we are not bounded by bodily sizes or skin color or any other parameter.
Be that confident and independent woman you wanna be irrespective of your age and leave your trail behind like a sassy yet wild perfume for other women to trace your path and get inspired.

Black as the nights sky
You never know when its coming
Temperature ranging from hot to cold
Moon swings come and they go
She can make you feel like the lowest **** on earth
Or make you feel like a King
We are in a league of our own
The take no mess take charge kind of woman
Sweet as honey beautiful as the sunset
Shell drain you and leave you begging for more
With her smooth complexion hair just right
Dress to impress and the legs smooth as silk
Her take charge attitude with sophistication
Can work the room in any situation
Wither in the boardroom, fancy restaurant
or at home with family and friends
She can cut you down without missing a beat
Leave you standing there wondering what happen
A work of art in her own right
A independent women but can make you feel
Like you are needed always treating you like you the man
A way with words that will leave no room argument
Will cut so deep leave you grasping for breath
But you can never want to hurt this woman
Cuz she can turn on you like Cain turn on Abel
We are devious creatures and with a devious mind
And a women who is scorn is a dangerous combination
A woman with so much confidence
It will make you sit up and take notice
But at the same time she knows her place
As a women by your side
While all the while bringing home the bacon, cook it and serve it to you like royalty
Watch out cause shes on the rise
As a strong independent black woman
Never fearing of the two strikes against her
In this mans world that we live in
So watch out, take notice and pay attention because she is unstopable

The one who inspires and encourages another woman without beign jelaous.
The one who believes that she is the best and could give the best and does the best not only to herself and her family but also the one needed

So, All the degnified women who know their worth and understand their rights proplerly and use it when needed only without harming anyone. Those who say yes to the right living and doing, they become aligned with the power and intelligence of life itself. Only then they become an agent for positive change, confidence and intelligency. Say yes to right living and right doing.

1. Stands up for herself.
She learns how to stand up for herself at school, at work, and in her social life. She isn't ashamed or apologetic about asserting herself. She puts her own needs first instead of always trying to accommodate other people first.
2. She isn't a jealous woman.
She is careful that she doesn't fall into jealousy. The first step to overcoming jealousy is when she recognizes when she is experiencing it. Women who are victims of jealousy, and yes I did say victims, are more likely to suffer from loneliness and self-esteem issues.
3. Addresses disrespectful and offensive comments.
If she hears somebody making a sexist, racist, or otherwise disrespectful comment, she does not let it slide. She calmly tells the person that what he or she said is not appreciated.
4. Honours her sexuality.
She isn't ashamed of wanting to have a sexual side. She Empowers herself to embrace her own sexuality in whatever form it takes, and chooses partners accordingly.
4. Studies what she wants to study.
She does not let societal norms influence which subject(s) she chooses to study. Often society pushes women into certain fields (English, the fine arts, teaching, nursing and other helping subjects), while men are pushed into other fields such as science, math, and technology.
6. Supports other women.
Too often, women are shamed, judged, and put down by other women. She uplifts others and empowers every woman to be exactly who she is without judgement or comment.
7. Educates other women and girls about being strong and independent.
She teaches them about being assertive, building leadership skills, loving themselves, and standing up for themselves and others.
Rhianna Fernandes Mar 6, 2020
1. Being an independent and strong woman means she never keeps toxic people in her world for long. Shecuts them outas soon as possible, because she knows she is strong enough to survive without them. She doesn't need their negativity weighing her down. She does not need to make living more stressful than it already is.
2. Being an independent woman means she is comfortable doing things on her own. She is able to sleep alone, Eat alone, Live alone. She can protect yourself.
3. Being an independent strong woman means she works her hard. She cleans the house, makes dinners, makes money. She follows her passions. She does not care what anyone else has to say about her, because she is proud of herself for chasing after her wildest dreams.

How hard may be her financial condition, she strives to bring out the best from it.
A confident woman nurtures her child in such a way that if he /she faces any failure they never regret, inspite they learn from their failures and move ahead ,never gives up. They stand for themselves.
Here independent woman according to me is the one who can take decision for herself and express her choice without any hesitation. The one who can fulfill her desires without depending on the economy of her spouse/father.
The one who can stand beside her husband/father/brother/son at times of financial needs and help them come out of any financial or emotional crisis,and making them feel proud and fortunate to have her as a wonderful gift by god to them.
A confident woman brings up her children with fruitfull manners and good values who always know their goals of life who never let their parents down.
Kavita Mar 6, 2020
In my view, a confident and independent woman is one who knows to take care of herself too, while she handles the multiple roles of her personal and professional life. She knows how to keep everybody happy and satisified, including herself. She has the ability to balance her multi tasking roles and knows when and where to draw a line on the compromises she makes with herself for fulfilling her duties. She does.not allow herself to be treated aa a door mat or be taken for granted.
She knows how to tackle her own emotions alongwith those of others and make it a WIN-WIN situation for all concerned.
As soft as silk and as fierce as a tigres, that's how an independent women alters her behaviour to suit her circumstances. She remains confident irrespective of her financial independence as a working woman or a homemaker. She takes independent decisions about her life and career, by prioritizing the needs of her family and kids.
An independent woman is a shakti / strength and a bond that binds together not just her family, but the entire universe.

For me I think somehow and somewhere each and every woman is confident and independent .Confident woman is the one who doesnot only have her individual thought process and believes but is always there to listen others perspective too,a woman who has the power of acceptance.Independent woman is the one who completely understands that it is not she who is dependent on some but there are lot of people around her who are dependent on her. An Independent woman is an individual who knows that respect is for all be it other women ,men.A confident and independent woman is that powerful person who always love and take care of each and everyone around her but without forgetting her own happiness,carrer ,beautiful smile and self respect.
