Venus meets Shirley Manson

Shirley Manson took to the official Instagram page of her band Garbage, to share her beautiful picture with Tennis star Venus Williams. Also, in a thankful gesture, she wrote a beautiful note in the caption. Shirley wrote about the times when she grew up and how women used to do only household work. However, the Williams sisters proved it to the world that a woman can rule out their homes.

She said, “I was a child born of the late sixties and raised in the seventies. A time when women were still struggling to relieve themselves of the assumption of domestic servitude. I had no idea I would ever live to witness the brilliance, the sheer power, and dominant athleticism of the Williams Sisters. Their achievements in the sporting field are, of course, legendary. They have changed everything. For all of us. Forever.”
