Oh would you look at that, I am here writing about another celebration day and this time I am sharing 20 powerful quotes to celebrate awesome women. Let’s face it, we are pretty bloody awesome!
International Women’s day
I am all about celebrating women and always will be. We deserve to be celebrated. EVERY DAMN DAY! We as women should be building each other up, looking up to one another and inspiring each other.
We should be looking at other women and be inspired by them, strong women, intelligent woman, powerful women, entrepreneurial women, those women who lead, the women who follow. Every woman is awesome and inspirational in their own right.
The power of quotes
Let’s face it, we all love a good quote as well right? Instagram in particular is full of them and I love that. I could spend hours scrolling Pinterest for quotes as well.
I think quotes are can be really important, I found that quotes around grief really helped me to process some ‘stuff’ and also showed me that how I was feeling was justified.
When it comes to female empowerment, there is a real call for change right now. In fact the theme for IWD this year is ‘Choose to Challenge’. Here is what the website has to say
A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change.
So let’s all choose to challenge.
How will you help forge a gender equal world?
Celebrate women’s achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.
Now I am not saying that a quote is going to change the world, but you know what? It’s a start. If someone reads it at a time when they need strength, need to feel inspired or are doubting themselves, It CAN make a difference.

I absolutely love 14 and 16 but my favourite is 2. Elizabeth Taylor was such an icon. I know people made fun of her in her later years but she was utterly and unapologetically her own woman and you can’t help but salute that kind of power and inspiration. Fab curation, Claire! xx
YESS this is the exact kind of post I LOVE to see on IWD!!

The only remark I have as a major fashion nerd is that Coco Chanel said “A woman should be two things: Classy and fabulous”, not the often misquoted version that was actually made up as criticism to her alleged shallowness.
Hope you had a great Women’s Day xx

These are all great quotes. I love the one from Emma Watson that women shouldn’t be afraid to be smart. When I was a teenager I used to act dumber because I was worried what people would think if I was ‘too smart.’ Thankfully, I have learned not to be embarrassed and be who I am.
It’s a hard lesson to learn but we should always embrace who we are x
Some awesome quotes here!
