Girl cousins.
You can see it in their faces.
A not-yet conscious strength in their shared sisterhood.
For them, neither glass slippers nor glass ceilings.
Capable, confident, willing to kick some serious butt if necessary, they will create a different future.
Through them, and many girls like them, shall come a new chapter for humanity, unshackled and free of the past.
And in this freedom will men and boys find their own liberation.
