I'm a guy, but much of my childhood was being raised by both my grandmothers who thankfully both lived close by, and for different reasons, they were always my main role models growing up.

Nowadays I volunteer with wildlife rescue and rehab. The field is something like 90-95% women, so you can find strong and amazing women doing every single role, from rescue and transport to all the medical and surgical positions to fundraising and finance. Everyone is there because they are very caring and kind, but also all fiercely self sufficient and dedicated to what they believe.

It's so awesome and inspiring to be surrounded by so many that embody all the spirit that I saw from both my grandmother's, and they are my current role models now as a guy in his 40s. Anyone of any age or gender could find things to admire from these ladies I'd say.
