Kate Middleton's toned arms are a 'discreet sign of feminine power'
Margaret Thatcher had famously changed her voice to a deeper tone as she swiftly rose to power to become the first woman Prime Minister in Great Britain. Many female authors choose to write under masculine pen names to get their work approved. There are several examples in history in which women have had to alter their traits to survive, and better thrive in a world of men. Part of that is investing their resources to become physically fit and set goals for themselves and others to become powerful role models instead of 'damsels in distress'.
Women like the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, Michele Obama, and Gal Gadot have become frontrunners in what appears to be a "status symbol", as labelled by author Lisa Hilton in her latest Daily Mail article.
