What can a modern Muslimah learn from Mary, mother of Jesus?

As a new Muslim, I'm seeking new Muslim-appropriate female role models; the obvious one to consider is Mary, mother of Jesus. > Mary, the mother of Jesus, is considered one of the most righteous and greatest women in the Islamic religion. -- Wikipedia Allah affirms her significance in the Qur'an: > And [mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds. O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer]." -- Qur'an 3:42-43 **Question**: What can a modern Muslimah learn from Mary, mother of Jesus? The obvious lesson is that of chastity, but I get the feeling I have only a superficial understanding of this. Furthermore, I expect there will be other lessons to learn from the story of Mary, which I am currently unaware of. AboutIslam write: > Maryam’s life teaches us to trust in Allah and do His will. What more could a Muslim want than that? But this seems overly simplistic; there's plenty more a Muslim, including the modern Muslimah, would want: family, career, travel, etc. Can the life of "the most righteous and greatest women in the Islamic religion" really be summarized as simply "trust in Allah"? And is there really nothing for Muslim women in particular?
