Can Ladies Wear Rudraksh?

Rudraksh Beads Can Wear By Ladies OR Not ??
It is one of the Popular question from all the persons who like to wear the Rudraksh beads . 
Number of persons think like the same , and they think that as rudraksh represent the lord shiva thus it is not adivicable to worn the rudraksh  by ladies . 
But truth is different from above , the reason is Rudraksh beads representing Shiva, Parvati, Ganapati, Lakshmi, Durga, Hanuman, Vishnu, Maa Kali, the 10 MahaVidyas, Matrikas, etc. For Example 9 Mukhi Represent Goddess Durga (shakti) .Since the beads also represent Devi or Shakti, this means that women can wear rudraksha. There is no Shiva without Shakti. By the same token, there is no Shakti without Shiva. Hence Shiva and Shakti are "One" and "The Same". They are two sides of the same coin : The Ultimate Supreme Goddess.
