We’re excited to celebrate Women’s History Month. In the United States, the entire month of March is declared as Women’s History Month, a time to commemorate and reflect on the vital role women have played in American History.
For 31 days we celebrate the achievements and contributions of the brave, intelligent and persistent women that came before us.

- “There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.” – Vera Farmiga

- “I am my own woman.” – Evita Peron
- “If it is right for men to fight for their freedom, and God knows what the human race would be like today if men had not, since time began, fought for their freedom, then it is right for women to fight for their freedom and the freedom of the children they bear.” – Emmeline Pankhurst
- “It’s not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we’re not good enough, that we must live up to someone else’s standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.” – Elle Macpherson

- “I remember, when I was 6 years old, we were having an event at school where different dolls were on display. I said that the tallest doll needed to be on the end, and my little friend said to me, ‘Oh, you’re just so bossy.’ I remember thinking that wasn’t a good thing. But I kept insisting the doll had to be on the end anyway.” – Condoleezza Rice
- “My advice to women in general: Even if you’re doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want – and don’t allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge.” – Nicki Minaj
- “Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, ‘She doesn’t have what it takes’; They will say, ‘Women don’t have what it takes.'” – Clare Boothe Luce
