Quotes For International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month

by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 4 Comments

International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 and March is Women’s History Month. It’s a time when we celebrate the accomplishments of women from the past and in the present. We all love cool quotes, right? FTD has rounded up 100 of the most powerful free quotes from amazing women like Eleanor Roosevelt, Beyonce, Malala Yousafzai, and more!

You can find them and use them for yourself, by clicking here.

Quote from Jane Fonda courtesy of FTD Florists - for International Women's Day - The challenge is not to be perfect, it's to be whole

This quote by actress/writer/producer Tina Fey is one I relate to

“You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the water slide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.”

~ Tina Fey

That’s so true, isn’t it? If you keep overanalyzing things it’s almost impossible to make your dreams come true because it’s just an excuse to get in your own way.

Slide down that water slide with abandon. Don’t procrastinate. You never know what amazing things will manifest if you do. See if you can find something to do that will make the world a better place. Who can you help? Who can you mentor? We’d all love to hear about it.

Who are women in history that have influenced and inspired you?

I live in Los Angeles and wrote a post, now on my new blog BoominginLA.com, about a few of the most prominent and influential women from LA who helped build our city and make it what it is today.

You can read it here.

But many women who deserve honor are not very visible. They make a difference in smaller, but just as important ways. Some are healthcare workers, doctors, teachers, artists, grocery store clerks, social workers, law enforcement, government workers, and business owners. Others are mothers, community activists, Girl Scout leaders, or work for various charities.

I like to support women-owned businesses when I can because they are so important. What are some of your favorites?

Do you have a quote you love that will inspire other women? Please leave it in the comment below.

Celebrate International Women’s Day every day!

    Oh, now, I love this one:

    “Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

    Because that’s for EVERYONE. So many of these are very successful women reflecting on what approach to life made them very successful. Which can make somebody who did try something a little out of the ordinary once, made a hash of it, and has now settled into being a boring office cog with some great hobbies feel bad about having settled. .

    But Eleanor’s quote? Well – by that measure I AM JUST FINE! Even though the kayak business fell through. I kept paddling, I reading, I draw & paint, I play music, I dance…I may not have made the cool job work, but no, I have NEVER given up my curiousity and I am always engaged with life (in fact my biggest problem sometimes is that I want to do EVERYTHING and I don’t always leave myself enough “me time”!)

    I like Julie Andrews’ too – “you can’t bat a thousand all the time”. Thank you, Julie!

    That’s such a great point, Bonnie. No one should feel undervalued because they aren’t wildly successful. Success is in the eye of the beholder anyway. Living life in a way that makes you happy is far more important and satisfying.

    Its always said that “Behind every successful man there is a woman.” Be it your Mother, Sister or wife. I encourage everyone to take a minute and wish pillars of your life on the occasion of the International women’s day.

    Although I love women’s history month, its strange being treated like we’re this marginalized group. Women are the majority of the population. Why is there no Men’s history month? The whole thing both inspires and frustrates me.
