Women's History Month is a time to reflect on the often overlooked contributions of women, both historically and contemporarily. There is power in a woman's voice, and in women's voices collectively. Here are some great quotes to ponder:
- "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less." - Marie Curie
- “Where there is a woman, there is magic.” - Ntozake Shange
- “A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult.” - Melinda Gates
- “I want every girl to know that her voice can change the world.” - Malala Yousafzai
- “There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.” - Hannah Gadsby
- “What’s the greatest lesson a woman should learn? That since day one, she’s already had everything she needs within herself. It’s the world that convinced her she did not.” - Rupi Kaur
- “Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women.” - Maya Angelou
