The Mystique of Life

The few moments I have for myself are dedicated to the other woman who lives within me. For the last couple of years, reading has been my blood and flesh, and I seriously doubt I would feel as strong had I not been acquainted - from books - with some of the most powerful, legendary women profiles of Washington DC. Those are women without whom Washington would simply be quite a different place. Accidentally coming to the place which is famous for its statuesque female characters - literally - tilted my perspective towards female prowess. One woman, for example, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, is so notorious she is also known as "the other Washington Monument". Of course, they were usually born into great wealth and privilege, hence they could be who they are - while most of the rest of us choose to be conformists and followers of our times. So, speaking of the other woman within, I wonder if she exists, and if she does, what is the course of action she would take in this moment of life to achieve her hopes.
