Today, March 8th is International Women's Day. And what better way to celebrate it than to shine a light on the famous women who have contributed to society with their talent, perseverance, and timeless wisdom.
Women's day has emerged as such in the early 1900s from the movements for women's rights. Much has been achieved since those days, but much remains to be done in the fight of gender equality. To quote a historical figure by the name of Golda Meir, "Whether women are better than men I cannot say - but I can say they are certainly no worse."
Bored Panda has compiled a list of inspirational quotes of many great women. Do you have your favorite women's quote which is not here? Then upload it to the list, we'd love to see it! Don't forget to vote for these strong, confident woman quotes!

Malala Yousafzai
Sure extremists [most are men] don't want women to overpower or beat them. They want to maintain their superiority always.

I believe this to be true ! Happy International women day to all the wonderful women in my life and to all the women in the world .
Eleanor Roosevelt
Very true , if women speak out of line they are called troublesome, a man does it , he is having is right to speake, !!??
Sometimes you have to make controversy, do something different or unique to catch attention and later be part of those great and recognized people in a society.
Eleanor Roosevelt did not say this, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich did. Come on, Bored Panda ... do your research!
Aung San Suu Kyi
Meanwhile she does nothing about the genocide of Rohingya Muslims by Buddhists. Bloody hypocrite.
Like aiding and abetting in a genocide. This woman doesn't deserve to be here.
Isn't she working for a government alleged in ethnic cleansing?
What a shame you are not now walking what you talk. All that is required for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing!
I’m sorry this lady needs to be removed from this list. This lady not an example of a women. I’d rather not celebrate this day if women like this are recognised as inspirational. It’s an absolute disgrace given under her administration how many Rhingya Muslim women have been gang raped by army officers under her instruction. This is double standards right her ppl
you should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right
Judy Garland
This is why she advises us. For not repeating her mistakes.

What men do, women can, too. Except for certain things afforded for men alone.
J.k. Rowling
Joanne Kathleen Rowland, 'cause they created this J.K. thing so the people at first wouldn't know she was a woman author.
Really? Wow.. had no idea :( Thought it just sounds cooler like JRR Tolkien and such.

I love the "rebuild" - it is an ongoing thing! Life proceeds - some parts of it may be rocky, others may be rocking! Everyone lives a whole life!
Mother Teresa
I agree. She was not the person many believed she was.

Happy International Woman Day! Feliz Dia Internacional de la Mujer para tan grandes mujeres en mi vida!
Mother Teresa did a lot of good work for her people. I have seen it in person in Calcutta. While we're alive, we have the opportunity to do something that will benefit others. Happy International Women's Day.
Coco Chanel
Nothing is better than to be beautiful inside and out of your whole being.
Happy Women's day in Advance to all my beautiful friends. Love you all.
Simone De Beauvoir
Woman starts from your birth and grows along with your age.You learn, acquire, and develop to be a woman.
Margaret Thatcher
"I will break the unions!" Hurray! "Then the factories!" Hura...wait what?
I think it says a lot that she felt like she had to put down men in order to say something good about women.
Depends. Is she talking about her self or women in general.

Ellen Degeneres
Be happy and content about yourself and you will see the beauty in you.
See and think always you are beautiful and your mind will say you are.
a woman is like a teabag,you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. thats how i see u ellen
Charlotte Bronte
Being an author counts more than her individuality. Doesn't matter if you regard her as a man or a woman.
Michelle Obama
Success because you work hard for it and not helped largely by others. When you did it yourself and not at the expense of others.
If you are part of the 'village' and contribute to the success then it would still be your success.

Not much humour going on in her country at the moment! More like a massacre of the Rohingyas! 😪
Humor keeps the balance. It neutralizes hard things to make it bearable. Humor is good to your heart and makes you stronger.
Oprah Winfrey
Sad experiences and failures should not hamper you to aim high but instead should be an inspiration.
Get quotes, this is a great start to start thinking like a leader. Queens make mistakes on their journey but to become a successful leader we must learn from our past, paving to make a new path for our future.
Your failure in the M Markle affair will most certainly NOT make you great.
My opinion ....... after falling for the Meghan Markle rubbish Winfrey does not qualify as a great woman nor does what she say make any sense.
..I think she referred to ‘Queen’ as a woman’s higher self.. just saying..
Thank you some people just don't understand the true meaning of words spoken

Audrey Hepburn
comment below needs to be deleted. girls do not have to be beautiful to be elegant.
Mae West
reminds me of good girls by 5SOS "Good girls are bad girls who haven't been caught"
Beyonce
Says the woman who is a sex puppet for a male-controlled industry who jumps when she is told so that they get rich off her.
Once confidence is gone, how and where would you start.Lack of confidence does not make you a winner.
Cher
Um... no offense to Cher, she's awesome, but this quote was actually originally said by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Nora Ephron
Yes, some women are difficult to understand. Complicated yet interesting to most men. Both should find their match.
Ahh… I don't understand why SOOO many people are diss-ing these quotes. I mean, sure, you're allowed to not like the person, but that doesn't mean everybody else hates them too! I am grateful we have women in our world today –and in our past – who have fought, not just for the independence of women; but for the world. I'm quite sad that so many of our world cannot, or will not, see the amount of courage some –if not all– these women have. The courage that everyone has if they take a step forward. Although I do not agree with all of these quotes, I find many of these to be inspirational and are relevant to my life, to my world.
What? Are you the male version of me? We share the same name!

It all depends on how you view these quotes. May like it or not, your own discretion. Most of them are inspirational.
Check out Susan B Anthony. Surprised she didn’t make the list considering she was vital in the suffrage movement. “think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.”
