What if Emojis Were Female Friendly

Cosmo got illustrator Divya Tak to create nine realistic, women-centric emojis

1.The horse-rider: Studies suggest that there are actually more female riders than men. Guess nobody told the emoji guys
How would a girl say ‘I want to be an astronaut’ in emoji? She can’t. Because it doesn’t exist. In fact, there isn’t a single ‘activity’ emoji with a female version—except a receptionist and a bride.

So we decided to create some of our own. Lose the pink and hair flips—it’s girl power all the way!
