WATCH | Winning Women: SA women’s ‘quiet revolution’: Why resilience is no longer enough
South African women are quietly rewriting the rules of power and success — and Dr Reitumetse Mpholle has the data to prove it.
As senior manager of insights and research initiatives at 1st for Women, Dr Mpholle has spent years listening to women’s stories, uncovering a powerful shift happening across the country. Her groundbreaking research reveals that women are moving away from the exhausting expectation to be constantly resilient, instead embracing what she calls a “quiet revolution.”
This isn’t about protests or slogans — it’s about something much more personal and profound. Women are choosing authenticity over performance, setting boundaries instead of saying yes to everything, and defining success without needing anyone else’s approval.
