Women’s day is a perfect opportunity to celebrate women and their stories.
It’s a day to celebrate women and their accomplishments, recognize those who are making a difference in the world, and remember how far we have come. Women’s Day is an occasion for men to show their appreciation for all that women do and to promote gender equality in every aspect of life.
Here are some quotes from some of the most inspirational women in history:
“Don’t let anyone tell you you’re weak because you’re a woman.” -Mary Kom
For the record, we’re not saying that men are weak. We’re not even saying that women are weak. The problem is when people make assumptions about our gender and how it affects our strength as individuals. Body shaming is just as bad when it comes from other women, so don’t let anyone tell you that being a female makes you any less capable of being strong or successful.
If someone does try to use your gender against you, don’t ever let them get away with it! Be confident in your abilities and what you can do—you have nothing to prove to anyone but yourself!
“A beautiful woman delights the eye; a wise woman, the understanding; a pure one, the soul.” -Minna Antrim
Minna Antrim was a famous poet in the 19th century. If you’ve ever read her works, you may have come across this quote before. And if not, here it is again: “A beautiful woman delights the eye; a wise woman, the understanding; a pure one, the soul.”
This quote has been used by many different people to talk about how important it is for women to be smart and strong. But Antrim’s intentions behind this poem were actually much deeper than that—she wanted readers to think about how they treat women and why they do so.
“The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.” -Roseanne Barr
“The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.” -Roseanne Barr
Women have to take power into their own hands and be confident about their abilities in order to get what they want in life. Women can’t rely on men or society at large for help, but instead must be assertive and strong in order to achieve excellence.
“Women are made to be loved, not understood.” -Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde, a famous British writer who died in 1900, once said: “Women are made to be loved, not understood.” This quote perfectly illustrates the beauty of being a woman. Women are indeed complex creatures. Even though they often do not understand themselves and are often dissatisfied with their appearance, they continue to move forward with grace and beauty in their lives.

“I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.” ― Maya Angelou

“Behind every successful man is a surprised woman.” –Maryon Pearson
Maryon Pearson was the wife of Lester B. Pearson, the 14th Prime Minister of Canada from 1963 to 1968 and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for his work on resolving conflicts around the world through diplomacy. She was also an activist who worked as a social worker for many years before her husband became prime minister. After his death in 1972, she spent several years working at the United Nations as an observer on human rights issues in Central America and was elected to sit in Canadian Senate from 1984 to 1993.
“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness” – Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey is a famous American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. She is one of the richest people in the world. She was born in Mississippi.
She started her career as an anchor at a local Baltimore TV station before moving to Chicago where she hosted WLS-AM’s talk show AM Chicago for eight years. She also co-anchored WTVS’ newsmagazine Siskel & Ebert & The Movies with Gene Siskel through 1982 and 1983.
“We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.” – Marie Curie
On this day, let us remember Marie Curie who was a Polish physicist and chemist who pioneered research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win two Nobel Prizes, and the only person to win in multiple scientific fields.
She was born Maria Salomea Sklodowska in Warsaw on 7 November 1867 to middle-class parents of minor Polish nobility. Her father taught mathematics at high school level while her mother ran a small boarding house for Jewish students attending universities in Warsaw.
Marie had a strong interest in science from an early age; she read all that she could find about chemistry and physics. She attended high school at an all-girls school run by nuns where she excelled academically but did not receive any encouragement from her teachers or family members in pursuing further studies which were considered unsuitable for girls at that time.
“Snatches of conversations I eavesdrop upon between the women in my village reveal with utmost clarity the position of women in our society. The powerlessness of their lives echoes painfully in my ears…” — Marjane Satrapi
Women’s Day is a special occasion when we remember the great achievements of women and girls, and take time to appreciate their contributions to society. It is an opportunity for us to celebrate the power of women around the world, who have been instrumental in making this world a better place.
We must continue our fight for equality and empower more women by giving them equal opportunities in education, health care and workplace safety. It is important that we recognize how vital it is for girls’ voices to be heard as well as boys’. In some countries like Iran where Marjane Satrapi lived during her childhood before moving to France at age 15 with her parents after they were exiled by Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution in 1979, men dominate the social landscape because they have greater political power than women do—even though there are no laws against them being active politically or economically (which means men could potentially benefit from higher pay). However this does not mean that Iranian women don’t have any rights at all because most people agree that even though laws may discriminate against certain groups based on gender or ethnicity etcetera; these laws can still sometimes provide protection against discrimination in other areas such as employment opportunities!
Conclusion
Women are strong and powerful. They can achieve anything they set their minds to, and we should all celebrate this day for those women who have paved the way for us.
