The Inspirational Women Series features role models within the Table Tennis community, that fight traditional gender roles / gender stereotypes, challenge inequality in sports (and in general) and are doing a great job at it.
Traditional gender roles / gender stereotypes may include (but not limited to):
• You’re a woman, you’re a follower, not a leader
• You’re a woman, you should stay home, cook and raise children
• You’re a woman, you should enjoy reading and cooking but not sports
• You’re a woman, your family is everything and your dreams don’t matter
• You’re a woman, your opinions don’t matter and nobody will listen to you
