Angelina Jolie is an actress, producer, humanitarian, and mother of six.
In honor of being a mom to three daughters, Angelina penned an essay for her fans in Time magazine.
"I have spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter, and days ago watched her younger sister go under the knife for a hip surgery," she wrote.
"They know that I am writing this, because I respect their privacy and we discussed it together and they encouraged me to write. They understand that going through medical challenges and fighting to survive and heal is something to be proud of."
"I saw how all my girls so easily stopped everything and put each other first, and felt the joy of being of service to those they love."
"But on this International Women’s Day, writing from the hospital, I find myself focusing on my daughters for a moment, and all that I have learned from them and other young girls I have met around the world."
"The woman she grows up to be will be expected to give, and care for, and sacrifice."
"Little girls’ softness, their openness and instinct to nurture and help others, must be appreciated and not abused," she explained.
We couldn't agree more!
What a beautiful essay! Girl power ALWAYS wins!

Back in February, the actor cancelled his trip to London at the last minute, sending Once Upon A Time In Hollywood co-star, Margot Robbie, in his place to accept the award for his work in the movie.
It would make sense for that obligation to have to do with his daughters' surgeries. A source has told Page Six that for Brad, "The children come before anything."
Like this fan, who admired that Angelina "stood by them 24/7, protecting them and the others, soothing their worries away."
Some fans felt she should have kept this information private for her daughters, regardless of whether they gave her permission to write about the subject or not.
Should she have kept the information to herself, or was it an inspiring look at her daughters' personalities? Let us know in the comments!
