Wonder Women

You've met them: Wonder Women. They are the females who strive endlessly to be the top, the acme of all other females around them. They bake the best, look the best, mother the best, charity the best, love the most and with false modesty tell or show us of it constantly. They are the orchids and chocolates people. The rest of us are said to envy them for their accomplishments and the influence they wield and example they set. But let's scratch the surface here. The question arises when we finish our petty jealousies of these women, what's going on and why do the Alpha women do as they do? Generally, these people arose from a mud somewhere in their backgrounds. When they climbed out of whatever bad situation they were in, they came out determined to shoot to the top since they had experienced far too much of the bottom. All that is to the good, but what is really happening is a goal that appears to ignore others who line their personal golden pathways to glory. We have experienced these misguided individuals elbowing  their ways to the spotlight.  Granted they are disliked or even hated, but they seem to neither notice nor care. Whoa! Do we know these individuals who will not let us in as fellow females? Are we simply jealous of their talents and are afraid to approach them, thus isolating them even further from the company of women? What is there to fear? Wonder Women are powerful and not always fair, therefore, it is intimidating to befriend them. But the fact is, that woman are, regardless of their position in society, women. And yes, we should try and befriend them and make them feel welcome to a place where they don't need to perform at the top to be accepted. How do you do this? Some female acquaintances or bosses appear to be infallible, but everyone is vulnerable in some way, and when the the lofty slip, you can be there to lend a hand, to give support that may not be highly visible but useful, nevertheless. It doesn't mean loss of self worth or pride, but merely a woman to woman gesture of support. You will find a chance, a way. It's tough at the top, the saying goes, and it is especially so for a woman who has struggled to get there. We women have deep feelings, of course males and others do, too, but not always similar to our specific female-like needs and qualities. We can capitalize on these gifts and use them in positive ways. We can put aside, to our own benefit, feelings of competition which is not what it's about, and just be there, to reach out woman-to-woman. If rejected, at least you have opened the door and tried. Doing it, you, the never-alpha female can become a kind of Wonder Woman in your own special way.
