Fifty-six years ago, a photographer captured the now iconic snapshot of JFK Jr. peeking through his father’s Resolute Desk in the Oval Office while then-President John F. Kennedy worked.
Now, a photo reminiscent of that famous moment is reaching viral heights. The new picture, which shows the 4-year-old daughter of newly-elected Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger playing at her mom’s feet during her victory speech, is being hailed on social media as an inspiring show of “the strength of a woman.”

“The strength of a woman is simply miraculous!!! Congresswoman Elect Abigail Spanberger rocking motherhood while giving her victory speech!” wrote one Twitter user.
“Looks like the future!” added another.
“Women do it best!” commented a third.
At another point in her victory speech, Spanberger picked up her young daughter and held her in one arm as while addressing the crowd.
The mom of three girls — all of whom attended her victory party, along with their father, Adam — beat Brat inTuesday’s midterm elections, securing 50.3 percent of the vote to her opponent’s 48.5. The final results weren’t called until slightly before noon on Wednesday,TheWashington Postreports.
