Angelina Jolie is a SUPERWOMAN
In a society that has put out such steadfast and finite ideals of what feminine beauty means, its so hard to not cling to archaic ideas of what is truly beautiful. So much of our identity as women is wrapped up in breasts. They are an obsession. To make a choice to have a double mastectomy is so brave, so inspiring, so truly the definition of strength that it only emboldens my previous ideas about Angelina Jolie.
She is the one. Just a truly bad bitch. My admiration grew tenfold.
Below is a link to the article Angelina wrote in the NY Times about her double mastectomy.
The woman is a marvel.

This is beyond the scope of frivolity that I normally deliver. I just was so moved by the article that I had to repost it.
Heroically brave.
Blew me away.
