International Women’s Day

Here’s to all the women who persevered even when it was very hard.
Here’s to all the women who tried even when they were told there was no point.
Here’s to all the women who followed when it wasn’t popular.
Here’s to all the women who led when no one else would.
Here’s to all the women who dreamed, and still dream, of a better day.
Here’s to all the women who work to make that dream come true.
Here’s to all the women who have wept at injustice and danced at equality.
Here’s to all the women who spend their days making meals, doing laundry, answering questions, wiping noses, zipping up coats, tying shoes, picking up and cleaning up so that others can achieve.
Here’s to all the women who were my mentors and examples.
Here’s to all the women who carved a path so I could stand on the shoulders of their achievement.
Here’s to all the women who make this International Women’s Day a day to celebrate.
