There’s an old English word that is no longer used, but is so fitting to the idea behind these traits: muliebrity. It means the distinguishing characteristics of women. It is neither positive or negative, but simply a recognition that women and men tend to approach things from different perspectives because of our differing experiences of life.

 

Both men and women can be ambitious, creative, generous or inspiring, but we will often have a different take on it. The way every individual approaches or embodies these traits has incredible value because it contributes to the growing cognitive diversity that is continually bringing our world to greater and greater heights. If we truly want to make the world a better place for everyone, it starts with getting a multitude of perspectives to the table.
