Lainey Molnar’s Illustrations Encourage Women to Be Whoever They Want to Be

Many illustrators found success on Instagram by pointing out the pressures women face in modern society, but no one is doing it better than Lainey Molnar. Her comics became a viral sensation after she started speaking out about the stereotypes every woman had to deal with and encouraged them to be their true selves.

It’s only been a few years since Molnar started sharing her illustrations with the world, but she already gained a million Instagram followers so far. Her Instagram page really took off once she started sharing short comics about women’s roles in society.

“I believe that the pressure on women comes from both inside our own community and outside, be it family, media, or men. It is incredibly hard to navigate all of their expectations and reach the milestones society has set out for us,” Molnar told Bored Panda.

Every woman can find something relatable in Molnar’s comics because they explore a wide range of different subjects from motherhood and parenting to self-acceptance and freedom of choice. She’s yet to experience a creative block and has a miles-long list of ideas for her future illustrations. The main goal of her comics is to empower women and encourage them to be whoever they want to be, no matter what society is telling them.
