For 90s kids, Disney played a pivotal role in their childhood dreams. At one point, you’ve probably thought about slaying dragons or holding your breath underwater for as long as you can.
These powerful Disney princesses had to make certain sacrifices to prove a name for themselves. Life in Disney movies wasn’t always smooth sailing, with enemies to fight, land to protect, and disagreeable parents. Despite the turmoil, these empowered women managed to wage through all the currents.
Mulan
Mulan left her village to prove a point to herself and almost risked her life. She’s the definition of being brave and staying true to yourself.
The Little Mermaid’s Ariel
Ariel grew up in a tough household with many other sisters and an overbearing father. Despite these hindrances, she wasn’t scared to venture into the unknown to find her prince charming. In fact, she dove right into the human world and lived it. Way to go girl!
Princess Jasmine
Princess Jasmine was denied access to the real world and lived a solitary life in the kingdom’s palace. Her desire to search, create her own life, and make her own decisions was an innate drive in her that pushed her forward.
Despite all the riches, something was missing from her life. Her feisty character is a reminder to always stay strong despite hardships.
Pocahontas
Pocahontas was an inspiration – after all, she denied her father’s wishes and pursued her own happiness. Despite her family’s doubts about her choices, she remained steadfast in her beliefs.
