This short story is written in part with E. L. F. Cosmetic's #EyesLipsFierce story contest.
For far too long, women have had to fight for the right to be treated as equally and fairly as their male counterparts. This piece is a homage to not only Shirley Chisholm but to all of the courageous female pioneers who broke barriers and paved the way for me and all future generations.
To female leaders and trailblazers everywhere: Thank You!

The girl smiled at her, not knowing who she was. "You look like a princess. You have nice hair and blue eyes that look like a dragon gave them to you." Princess Zahra gave a shaky laugh, wondering if the girl knew she had the same, glowing eyes as herself. "Well, I think you look like a princess too." She shook her head. "I don't want to be a princess. I want to be a warrior." --- Like any world, Rova is plagued with issues such as social disbalances, gender inequality and pirates. It is also included in a 20 year war. Zahra, the princess of Rova, is unaware of these problems because of her sheltered lifestyle within the palace walls. Her only worries are the temper of her little sister, Jaylyn, and the fear of disappointing her parents, the King and Queen. However, her views are tampered with as she is kidnapped and pulled into the lifestyle of pirates where she is exposed to the class discriminations, the poverty, magic and the raw power that people, especially women, can have when driven and determined. These new experiences also slap her into the reality that decisions have an impact and that she needs to learn to make them wisely. *** Also, please feel free to give constructive feedback and point out spelling or grammar mistakes.

Sourire❣
Woman.. You are a mystery They still can't see. Being outcasted and ignored for years Your struggles fell on deaf ears. You bleed the blood like warrioress Still, you are sweet and fearless. There is none that you can't heal In front of no one that you should kneel. Remember that you are a conqueror Nothing can make you feel inferior. Having the wisdom of infinity Just name your own destiny. With an immeasurable soul You can be a creator of your own tale. Be the one you want to be Not the one you should be. With a glimmer in your eyes Woman..just marvel at your life. With an infinite love in your heart Sourire for what you have been from the start. (*few of the dialogues that I have used in the story are adapted from Google.*)Complete
