A strong women to me is somebody who can face the challenges that life throws at her and come out smiling both in victory and in defeat.

a strong woman is one who is honest,hardworking,knows her strengths and weaknesses,loves her family,who is loyal,faces adversary and triumphs,who when makes a mistake should be ready to accept it ...no comparison with any man is necessary...for a strong woman works in a mans environment fighting for her rights but is also soft and emotional...in short if life throws lemons she will make lemonade...

Strength in a woman can't be messured by comparing her with anyone (man, woman or child) it is the way she handles herself, her family, friends and problems. To be a strong woman you don't have to be loud (aka shouting) you only have to be loud in regards to how you make your opinions heard by others. Sometimes a whispered reply has much more effect than a shouted one. It all depends on what is said. To be a strong woman you have to be reliable, you must be someone others can look at for support but you also have to know your limits. You have to know when you can't deal with a situation alone and when you need help. Being a strong woman does not mean that you have to stand alone on top of everyone, or have to best everyone else. It means that you grazious enough to aknowledge defeat and congratulate the winners. It doesn't mean that you are faultless or that everything you do is right. But it means that if you find out that you made a mistake or behaved wrong that you are woman enough to stand up to the other party and apologise. Being a strong woman doesn't mean that you have to control everyone around you but that you have a watchful eye on others and stop them, should they be about to commit a huge mistake. But at times let them make mistake to learn from them. A strong woman can be emotional but has to be able to control her emotions in times of need. Being a strong woman you still can look for comfort in others there is no fault in that.

Does a strong women = loud women

Does a stron women have to dominate over a man to prove she is strong?

Does a womens strenght need to be quantified by comaparing her to aman and being able to function better than him?

Does a strong women show weakness if she is emotional?

Does strength in charactor mean being right always, winning always?

How would a strong women juggle family (husband, children, in-laws, parents siblings etc)

and finally can a strong women fail and admit it

More than that A strong woman is somebody who molds herself to suit the situation and do her best.. Somebody who can act as a man of the family when needed and somebody who can become the docile listener when needed.

Like Koki and Gopi. These two women had very different problems in life and both have been strong against adversity.

It is also a strong woman who will actually own to her mistakes when she makes any. It is the weak who take the easy way out. A strong and honest person will face it head on and try to correct the wrong.

All of what you said gives a woman strength

This one "How would a strong women juggle family (husband, children, in-laws, parents siblings etc)" is definition what a woman should be, capable of managing (emotionally, methodically, intellectually)...but some women have additional qualities, those are the ones you described before the last one...not being a loud mouth but speaking up and challenging things and having a persuasive argument to convince people to think differently.

Strength can be emotional/physical/intellectual etc, lots of different strengths.
