Prepare to be inspired.
Life gets hard, that’s a sure fact. And bustling through life, relationships, friendships, and work without your lipstick smearing is a honed skill! So, whenever you feel like life is giving you lemons, encourage yourself by reciting these mantras from empowering female movie monologues by driven women such as yourself!
In the 2001 hit movie, Legally Blonde, an eager sorority girl, Elle Woods, played by Reese Whitherspoon, attends Harvard Law. During her journey through the intense program, Elle goes from the bottom of her class to Valedictorian at graduation.
She shows us that we need to be determined and persistent in life. You must always be in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire!
Kill Bill vol. 1 is a 2003 movie filled with kick ass women who aren’t afraid to use their assassin, ninja-like skills to get what they want. The monologue by character O-Ren Ishii, played by Lucy Liu, is a prime example of when we need to stand up for ourselves.
We must never let people get in the way of our peace. Always set the standard of how people treat you.
If they aren’t abiding by your standards, then you must speak up, and if need be, chop off some heads!
The complexities of marriage and parenthood is made evident in the 2017 film, Fences, with award-winning actors, Viola Davis and Denzel Washington.
Rose, played by Viola, pours her heart out for the revival of her marriage. Instead of calling it quits, she wars for their relationship to be rekindled.
She shows us that many times we must put up a fight for the people we love!
Loving people can be difficult, and in romantic relationships, even more so. But, Baby, played by Jennifer Grey, in the 1987 hit movie, Dirty Dancing, reminds us that the love isn’t real if all parts of you aren’t loved.
You shouldn’t have to settle for anything less! Now, granted, in this monologue, she was talking to her father, but you get the point!
M’Lynn, played by Sally Field, in the 1989 film Steel Magnolias, desperately tries to understand the sudden death of her daughter. M’Lynn teaches us that it is okay to be vulnerable and cry on the shoulder of a friend or loved one.
This does not negate strength. It proves that owning your feelings, especially sorrowful ones, are all apart of being a dynamic woman.
There are plenty more female movie monologues by amazing women that you can use to lift you up in the middle of crisis. Let the words of wisdom, strength, and tenacity inspire you to press on; whether in a professional space, relationship, or just in life in general!
And always remember that if these women could get through life, so can you.
