I love quotes! I lose hours on Pinterest, clicking through quote after quote. I have my quote apps on my phones and I’m signed up to way too many “quote of the day emails”. So in honour of International Women’s Day, I thought I’d share my ten favourite empowering quotes by some Kick-Ass Women!!
Empowering quotes!

“I’m tough, I’m ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.” ―Madonna
“It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent.” —Madeleine Albright
“Women are always saying, ‘We can do anything that men can do’ but men should be saying,’We can do anything that women can do.'” —Gloria Steinem

Women empowering women quotes
