What does it take to raise our daughters to be leaders? Especially in a society that labels strong women as "difficult."

Women are natural-born leaders, yet there is still a huge gap between men and women in leadership roles. One of the biggest reasons for this is that many girls feel incapable of being leaders, including a lack of confidence and self-esteem. I made this printable with my strong-willed daughter in mind. To instill in her that girls can most definitely be leaders and to highlight female role models. The printable features:

• The stories of eight amazing Canadian women: Roberta Bondar, Hayley Wickenheiser, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Chantal Petitclerc, Gigi Osler, Huda Idrees, Angelica Lim, and Michaëlle Jean

• Leadership trait studies

• Open-ended questions to encourage critical and creative thinking

Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.
