Strong Women- be them, raise them, know them, hire them

-by Chetna Nagar

While science and biology point out that men are stronger with more muscle mass than women there is no need to believe that women are any less stronger! Here is why I think women are stronger than men. Lets start with the brain.

Women have more Brain Power than Men

• Higher levels of verbal ability.

• Stronger reading comprehension and writing ability.

• More attuned fine-motor skills.

MALE BRAIN VS FEMALE BRAIN

• More adept at retrieving information from long-term memory.

• Faster perceptual (sensual interpretation) speed.

• Women process information about five times faster than men, and use much less of their brain to do identical cognitive performance.

How are Women Physically Stronger?

Long gone are the days when women were called the weaker sex. While men have the capacity for exertion , women have the capacity for endurance. Yes men are more powerful but women's muscles tend to be more resistant to fatigue than men's, which means they can perform at the same relative intensity for a longer duration than men.

Women tend to live longer than men- due to a “complex interaction of biological, environmental and social factors ”as per a study published in the journal Proceedings of National Academy of the United States of America. Basically it means us being able to be a mother, a wife, a homemaker, a breadwinner all at once, all the time is helping us live longer.

Women can also endure pain better due to childbirth and have the innate ability to heal faster and have impressive survival skills.

Professional strength - Why Women make better employees ? We have some of these inherent traits such as:

Being better listeners, great communicators, more organized, more empathetic, skilled in multi-tasking, have an excellent ability to network and socialize and have abundance of patience.

In conclusion, a strong woman knows she has the strength enough for the journey and a woman of strength knows that it is in the journey that she will become strong.
