Amelia Earhart. Maya Angelou. Hillary Clinton. Dolly Parton. These are just a few of the strong women throughout history that serve as powerful inspirations to today’s women, whether they’re starting their own businesses, raising families, or fighting for equal pay. These amazing individuals, along with everyday women who are also doing amazing things, are the reason why Women’s History Month was founded in 1987, and March continues to be an important month in the lives of women everywhere. In addition to supporting women-owned businesses and reading inspirational books, celebrating with empowering Women’s History Month quotes is a great way to mark the occasion.
These quotes from inspiring women who paved their own paths can motivate you to do big things in your own life. They’re perfect for jotting down in a journal, writing out in a planner, or sticking on the bathroom mirror. They make for stirring Instagram captions, all throughout the month of March. And they’re also ideal for sharing with others, especially young girls who could use some encouragement as they make their way through, what can be at times, a challenging world. Write these positive quotes on a whiteboard for your daughters to see, or tuck them into cards you send to young family members.
