My Answer is "yes".
Women are mysteriously designed to fit into numerous roles in life.They can multitask,yet productive in each task.
Acknowledging if a woman can be simultaneously strong, independent and submissive depends in people's perspectives, beliefs,reasoning and personal opinions, Including the woman in questions.
Some people believe that a woman can be strong and submissive, but she can't be submissive if she is independent (what do these terms means?)An in depth understanding of each individuals will throw more light on the possibility of combining these there unique traits as a woman.
STRONG: A woman has the natural ability to be strong. This is because her creator knows she has great roles and responsibility to play in the destiny of others she is a life giver after God.She carries lives in her womb,she feed lives with her hands,nurtures lives with her care and sees to it that it is well with lives with her prayers and care.
Being aware of this,a woman needs to be strong emotionally,spiritually,mentally, intellectually,financially, socially and physically.she needs to equip her self with great achievable visions,confidence dignity and self love.
INDEPENDENT: This means not needing to wait for anyone before taking crucial decisions/steps in achieving an "urgent" goal.This however doesn't interpret to mean that the support and advice of others will not sought or welcomed. "No man is an island".
Being independent also means having the confidence,courage and strength to voice out your own thought and opinions, having the capacity (financial,mental,physical and other wise) to do the things that you want to do on your own ways.
It is apparent from our understanding above that a woman who wants to be strong must also or first be independent, she need to be independent in building her own empire which will be a supportive edge to her home.
SUBMISSIVE: Submission is God's own principle for marriage. A woman has to be completely submissive to her husbands, irrespective of her position, status and achievements.
Being submissive is recognizing and acknowledging superior authority and according the respect due to them.
Some people feel that an independent woman cannot be submissive. Being independent does not stand in the way of being submissive. And dependence does not equate submissiveness.
One can be dependent on people for money, advice/assistance, yet not submissive to them i.e: doesn't respect or submit to them.
For example some of our youth may depend on their parent for school Fees and all,but that does not mean they respect or obey them in all ways.
Examples of women in the bible that were strong, independent and submissive.
i)Esther
ii)Deborah
iii)The proverbs 31 woman
An Example in Nigeria is Mrs Folorunsho Alakija.
Conclusion: Gods' wisdom is needed to be able to combined and balance these three things, because some women in a bid to be strong and independent tend to become insubordinate.
