“What was so neat about them is that they were all so distinctly different,” she explained while onstage. “And they were women, and they owned who they were. And that was my first introduction into girl power. … When you guys voted for this, you didn’t just vote for women or me, but you voted for girl power. So thank you! Thank you! It’s true!

Lively ended her speech sharing her mother’s advice that “no one can limit you.”
