Today is International Women's Day! Although we should be celebrating women every day, it's still great that we have this international day. When I think about women and women's rights, I am so grateful to live in a country where we have so many freedoms.
I love being a woman. I love my femininity. I love my strength. I love my sensitivity. I love that I'm complicated. And I don't apologize for any of it.
In honor of today, I've gathered some of my favorite quotes about women, mostly written by women. I even made them into graphics, so feel free to share and pin away! I would appreciate any tags in your posts, too. :) Without further adieu, here you go!
