Human-rights lawyer Amal Clooney is unmistakably one of the most inspirational women of the 21st century.

Yet it seems even she has her own heroine.

During a speech at the Texas Conference for Women, Amal highlighted how her mother, journalist Baria Alamuddin, has had a positive impact in her life.

"I think, growing up, my mother was definitely a role model. She was always a working woman and someone who is independent and cared about her career and cared about being independent, but also had balance," revealed Clooney.

She continued: "She never lost her femininity and she believed the balance was important, and that is something that stuck with me."

The 38-year-old then went on to give words of advice women everywhere should live by.

"The worst thing we can do as women is not stand up for each other," she said in the moving speech. "And this is something that we can practise everyday, no matter where we are or what we do - because if we are united, there is no limit to what we can do."
