Breathe UK – July 2018

This year, 2018, is the Year of the Woman, and it’s an important one.
It marks 100 years since the first women finally won the right to vote.
You may wonder why this should matter to you, today – didn’t all that
happen a long time ago?
Well, understanding the past means the present makes more sense, and
it also gives you a better idea of what the future might be. When you
imagine what life must really have been like for many of the women
in this Inspiring Women Special, you walk in their shoes, you see the
injustices and challenges they had to face and overcome. This might
make you more certain of what is right and wrong, feel grateful for the
sacrifices they have made, be inspired to overcome your own obstacles,
or give you a clearer picture of what you hope will happen in the future.
Women have made huge strides towards equality since 1918. Each of
the brave and bold women in this magazine have played their part in
changing history for the women who came after them. They are the
reason young women today can dream big and feel able to follow those
dreams. Here at Teen Breathe we hope they inspire you to be brave, be
kind, be yourself and who knows, even follow in their footsteps.
