Mother dresses her daughter up as 5 kick-ass women instead of Disney princesses

I came across this on Facebook today and thought it was pretty cool. This mom was tired of how little girls are limited to dressing up as Disney princesses for Halloween and took some pictures of her daughter dressed as Susan B. Anthony, Coco Chanel, Amelia Earhart, Helen Keller, Jane Goodall, and a presidential candidate. I love everything about this! I think this could actually be pretty powerful for a little girl... reminding her that being smart, powerful, inspirational, and strong like these women is cool not just being pretty like a princess. I always remember dressing as something I wanted to be and I think most kids do that.... boys as firefighters and girls as princesses. I definitely think it's important and empowering to encourage little girls to want to be something besides a pretty princess.

It’s important for us to remind girls that they can be so much more than princesses. - See more at: http://www.beautyexists.net/humanity/mother-dresses-her-daughter-up-as-5-kick-ass-women-instead-of-disney-princesses/#sthash.YybhhCh9.dpuf
