Let’s celebrate how far we’ve come in terms of women’s rights, and also to look ahead at how we can improve in the future. Whether it’s women’s suffrage, the invention of the contraceptive pill, or improvements in the developing world, there’s plenty to be happy about. It can’t pass without giving a huge thanks to the women that helped make that happen, though. In celebration of #internationalwomensday, in today’s blog, we’ve compiled a list of inspiring and empowering quotes by women for women.
