"A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Women's Day is celebrated annually on March 8th to recognize the contributions of women in society and their ongoing struggle for gender equality. It is a day to celebrate the achievements of women across the globe and to honor their strength, resilience, and determination.

"Here's to strong women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them." #strongwomen #womenempowerment #womeninspiringwomen

The origins of Women's Day can be traced back to the early 20th century, when women began to organize and advocate for their rights. In 1908, 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding better pay, shorter hours, and voting rights. This event is now recognized as the first Women's Day.

Over the years, Women's Day has grown into a global celebration, with events and activities taking place in countries all over the world. It is a day to recognize the progress that has been made in the fight for gender equality, but also to acknowledge the work that still needs to be done.

Despite the progress that has been made, women continue to face significant challenges in many parts of the world. From discrimination in the workplace to violence and abuse, women still struggle to achieve equality and overcome the obstacles that stand in their way.

"We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women's voices are heard and heeded." - Sheryl Sandberg #womeninleadership #womeninspiringwomen #genderequality

But despite these challenges, women continue to make remarkable achievements and contributions to society. From political leaders to entrepreneurs, artists to scientists, women have proven time and again that they are capable of achieving greatness.
