If you’re trying to find talented illustrators who are fully committed to female empowerment, Lainey Molnar’s Instagram page is the place to be. This social media star is using her drawings to encourage women to be their true selves in a society where everyone’s trying to put them in a box.
Before going viral thanks to her brutally honest illustrations, Molnar used to work as a blogger and a writer for women’s magazines. During the lockdown, she passed the time by working on drawings that showcase what she’s going through as a woman under the pressure of society.
Molnar uses her illustrations to call out outdated societal norms, and show the world that women can be happy, successful, and accomplished even if they pick completely different paths in life. She’s someone who strongly believes that it’s important to normalize women’s rights—such as what they’re going to wear, do with their body, or how they live their lives in general.
Molnar’s illustrations are brutally honest and truly refreshing, and she’s hoping they’ll have the power to inspire change. She told Bored Panda that she believes women need to stick together in order to break the barriers and push these topics into the mainstream.
