Go, ladies!
Today is International Women’s Day, and there are a number of ways you can celebrate it. You can listen to your favorite women artists (there a number of playlists that have been made by streaming services to give women their just due today). You can watch a movie or show led by ladies (Living Single? Girlfriends? The Favourite?). You can make a concerted effort to speak out about women’s issues in the fight for women’s rights. Or what about just celebrating by being, as Joseline Hernandez would say, the bad lil boosh that you are?
One way we’re choosing to observe the day (aside from showing love to working moms) is by seeking out quotes by amazing women about the power of women and the importance of embracing our voice and greatness. Feel free to share your own favorite quotes by your favorite women in the comments. In the mean time though, check out just a few of the many we love by hitting the flip.

“Any time women come together with a collective intention, it’s a powerful thing. Whether it’s sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens.”
