《致闪闪发光的你》46位杰出女性手书，点亮精神火花

"I sincerely hope that in drafting new legislation, you will pay attention to the rights of women and treat them with more generosity and compassion than your predecessors did."

Women have long been a group of people who have suffered discrimination throughout history. They have always existed as men's appendages, but there have always been many women who have struggled, persisted, and sought change. They have also become outstanding women in various fields, and their stories have inspired more women to follow in their footsteps and show more abundant strength.

So who are these outstanding women in history? What are their stories like? What kind of fighting spirit have they shown?

Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, the great-granddaughter of the famous British writer Dickens, is a British writer and art historian. As a woman, she is also more curious about the stories of those women in history. So she collected and organized a large number of handwritten letters written by historical women, presenting them in front of readers. Through the introduction of the authors' life stories and the background of the letters, we can understand more about these outstanding women and see the brightest moments of their lives.

Thus, the book "To You, the Sparkling One" is a collection of 46 extraordinary women's handwriting illustrations compiled by the author. These 46 women represent 46 complete lives, and their 46 letters show their most charming side. Combined with the author's introduction to their lives, it also takes us on a journey of outstanding women. Through the exploration of their life experiences, we can also see a life path full of continuous struggle and unique charm.

The author divided these 46 women into four parts: "Her Knight's Dream," which records women who have the same status as men in the political arena; "Start Writing" records the stories of great female writers; "Reveal the Dream's Background Color" portrays field pioneers who have achieved their personal dreams; and "The Journey of Stars and Seas" represents outstanding women from various fields.

In these women's lives, in addition to seeing their brilliant achievements, there is also a deep sense of powerlessness. They have always been ostracized throughout history, and achieving such success is also full of hardships.

Like the sentence at the beginning of this article, this is from the second first lady of the United States, Abigail Adams who sought opportunities to change the status of women. It can be seen that women had no rights in the law at that time.

This is the unfair treatment women received two hundred years ago, and we can still understand it. Then let's take a look at Bobbi Gibbs. She became famous for participating in the Boston Marathon in 1966. It seemed very ordinary, but it was a subversive event. In the era before her time, it was believed that women were not capable of running marathons. It was Bobbi's actions that proved to the world that women can complete any activity that men engage in, fundamentally changing the discrimination against women in marathons.

This was only 50 years ago. In public awareness, women still had many disadvantages compared to men. This must make us think deeply. After reading these life stories, do we need to reflect on whether women are still experiencing such biases in our real lives? Do female friends still need to continue to fight?

These stories of outstanding women break women's prejudices time and time again and complete women's struggles for freedom time and time again. Therefore, through such life stories, let us inspire more women to show a more brilliant and splendid future life!
