The true strength of society becomes apparent only when women are allowed to freely express themselves

 A member of the ancient world's silent intellect, Aspasia brought with her words of wisdom that have stood the test of time. Born in Miletus, she resonated with the intellectual world of Athens with her wisdom and intelligence. This extraordinary woman of ancient times shed light on the dark social fabric of the period, emphasizing that females should be able to make their voices heard. Challenging tradition, Aspasia argued that women's education was not only a right but also an indispensable necessity for the progress of society. To her, knowledge was a light that enlightened people; this light was a right for women as well as men. According to her, a woman who does not have a formal education is naive about her own capabilities and the world at large.  The search for wisdom from women was an integral part of society's struggle for enlightenment.In Athens, Aspasia was more than simply a friend or wife; she was a mentor and an inspiration to a statesman like Pericles. Her wisdom, oratory, and worldview left their mark on Pericles' speeches and the political atmosphere of Athens. It is as if she lived to show the world that women could be not just figures but active elements of thought and action.  Aspasia's life, thoughts, and wise words reflect the natural philosophy of the Milesian philosopher Thales. In her perspective on human relationships, Aspasia embodies Thales's notion that all things are interdependent parts of a larger whole. According to him, society can only be completed with the equal contribution of men and women. This woman, who mixed love, wisdom, and the deep connections of the universe, made the idea of ​​the "unity of love and intelligence" the basis of her life. Aspasia's voice resonates today, transcending her time. What he said about freedom, education, and the role of women in social life is an inspiring mirror even today. His enlightened stance demonstrates that love and reason are not mutually exclusive but rather work hand in hand. As we commemorate Aspasia's memory, we take a deep breath with her words, not only for women but also for humanity: "Wisdom shines with love in the depths of the soul; only the free mind can find it."  Those who seek knowledge of the universe can look to Aspasia's legacy for direction. Her voice transcends time, emphasizing that women's struggle for equality and freedom is a crucial step on the path to wisdom. And this step opens the way to the true enlightenment of societies.To Aspasia and all women who embody her essence,
