Happy International Women's Day! Honor the Ladies in Your Life With These Quotes
Here at The Pioneer Woman, we believe every day should be a day where we celebrate the moms, sisters, daughters, friends, and any other women in our lives! After all, you can't have The Pioneer Woman without the woman who started it all—Ree Drummond—and all the lovely ladies that inspire her (and vice versa). Take Ree's daughters, Alex and Paige or her four best girlfriends who play such a large role in her life. If you're anything like Ree, you probably celebrate the female figures in your life daily, but that doesn't mean we can't embrace a day dedicated to women's achievements and promoting gender equality like International Women's Day on March 8.
Since 1911, International Women's Day has been a fixture of our calendars and lives, and there are no limits to its growth. Whether you choose to celebrate by mixing up some cocktails with your gal pals, listening to your favorite female singers, or posting a quote from a notable woman in history to social media, the ways you can celebrate International Women's Day are endless. Almost a century after the birth of this holiday in 2001, the International Women's Day online platform emerged alongside the cause to promote female-focused hashtags like this year's 2024 campaign, #InspireInclusion. The hashtag pairs perfectly with any of these empowering International Women's Day quotes from female activists and entrepreneurs like Oprah, Nora Ephron, and even Ree Drummond herself.
So this Women's History Month, honor yourself by perusing these inspirational quotes written by and for women.
